Kitara Football Club have continued their ambitious preparations for the upcoming season after completing the signing of midfield maestro Jeromy Kirya on a two-year contract. The Royals have moved decisively in the transfer market as they strengthen their squad ahead of a historic campaign that will see them represent Uganda in the CAF Confederation Cup after winning the Uganda Cup last season.
Kirya joins Kitara as a free agent following the expiry of his contract with Uganda Premier League side BUL FC, bringing with him valuable experience, physical presence and technical quality that is expected to add significant depth to the club’s midfield department. His arrival comes at a crucial time as the Hoima-based side prepares to compete both domestically and on the continental stage.
The combative midfielder has built a reputation as a reliable performer in the heart of the pitch, combining defensive discipline with creativity and intelligent ball distribution. Known for his energy, vision and ability to influence the rhythm of a game, Kirya is expected to provide Kitara with more control, stability and attacking inspiration as the club faces the challenges of a demanding season.
The signing highlights Kitara’s determination to assemble a competitive squad capable of handling the increased expectations that come with continental football. After lifting the Uganda Cup in the previous season, the Royals earned the opportunity to compete in the CAF Confederation Cup, marking a significant milestone in the club’s history and placing greater emphasis on squad strengthening.
Kirya becomes the latest high-profile addition to Kitara’s growing squad as the club continues its aggressive recruitment drive. The midfielder joins a list of new arrivals that includes goalkeeper Joel Mutakubwa, Nicholas Kasozi, Diego Missi Ssemugera, Jackson Sembatya, Martin Kizza Lubwama and Ghanaian defender Christopher Bonney, with the club targeting quality reinforcements across all areas of the pitch.
With continental football on the horizon, Kitara will be counting on their new signings to provide the quality, experience and resilience required to compete against some of Africa’s finest clubs. The arrival of Jeromy Kirya gives the Royals another important piece as they aim to build a squad capable of making a strong impression in the CAF Confederation Cup while also maintaining their competitiveness on the domestic scene.
