Life is about accepting challenges along the way; they say something Charles Bbaale just proved after he joined Rwandan side Rayon Sports.
The former SC Villa forward, who penned a two-year deal, joins to boost Rayon Sports' attack and as a direct replacement for winger Willy Essomba Onana who joined Tanzanian giants Simba SC.
Onana scored 16 league goals as 'Gikundiro' finished third last season, claiming the club's MVP gong at the end of the campaign.
The Blues are set to represent Rwanda in the CAF Confederation Cup, having won the Peace Cup for the first time since the 2016 last season, and Charles Bbaale will be expected to lead the goal hunt.
The former Gomba striker was the second Ugandan league top scorer last season with 12 goals with SC Villa, who put up an unexpected, exciting title run but fell short on the season's final day, losing to URA FC.

Rayon’s rivals APR also completed the signing of Ugandan midfielder Taddeo Lwanga, whose industry in midfield they will hope can help them retain the league title.
He becomes the second Ugandan player to join the Rwandese club in July after Simon Tamale, the shot-stopper who was the best goalkeeper last season after picking up 13 clean sheets in the Uganda Premier League, also joined on a one-year deal.
The two signings take the number of Ugandans at the club to four, including forward Musa Esenu and fast-paced winger Joackim Ojera. However, the latter's future is yet to be concluded.

Of the 11 players named on the Team of the Season, only two were part of the team that lost 2-1 to Algeria in Cameroon on June 18th.
Bbaale becomes the second player to leave SC Villa as a free agent after former captain Gift Fred signed for Young Africans earlier this week on a three-year deal.
The forward will be expected to help the Blues win their first league title in three seasons, having last won it in the 2018/19 season.
