KAMPALA, July 31 (Xinhua) -- Ugandan Premier League side KCCA FC has signed Angolan striker Katenga Openga.

KCCA FC, who will represent Uganda in the 2023/2024 Total Energies CAF Confederation Cup, unveiled Katenga Openga on Monday at the club in Lugogo, Kampala.

"I am very excited to join this club with a great history and tradition. I'm looking forward to working with the team to achieve success," added Openga, who signed a two-year contract.

Openga who has previously featured for Asa FC, Saurimo FC and CD Lunda Sul back in Angola becomes KCCA FC's fifth foreign talent ahead of the start of the new season. He joins two other Angolans at the club, Emilson Gonzaga and Cungulo Da Silva, and two Brazilians Joao Gabriel and Vinicius Michael.

Head coach Sergio Daniel Traguil told Xinhua that he is happy to add on another good player to the squad before the season starts.

"We are now putting in the work and Openga's arrival will also add more options in attack," added Traguil.

KCCA FC will play their first international friendly on Aug. 4 against visiting Kenya Premier League side Kakamega Homeboyz FC at their MTN Omondi Stadium in Kampala. Enditem
