Kitata has played two stints for UPDF FC, SC Villa, Kitara, and Rwandan side Kiyovu Sports Club.

BUL Football Club have unveiled Alex Kitata to boost their striking department ahead of the StarTimes Uganda Premier League season.

The journeyman has crossed over from BUL’s Jinja City rival Gaddafi FC.

The striker emerged as the Soldier Boys’ best marksman last season after scoring eight goals in the Uganda Premier League.

BUL head coach Abbey Kikomeko believes that Kitata’s partnership with Charles Ssekamatte will yield results for his side.

“As much as I have an experienced forward in Ssekamatte, I wanted to add on another experienced striker, and that is Kitata,” Kikomeko told the club portal.

“I looked at his experience and the work rate, and he knows where to put the ball,” he added.

Kitata has previously played for Free Stars in the lower division before guiding the-now defunct The Saints to the topflight.

He has also played two stints for UPDF FC, SC Villa, Kitara, and Rwandan side Kiyovu Sports Club.

Kitata adds to the huge number of players that have abandoned Gaddafi FC in this window.
