Shabena joined the Red Eagles from BUL FC in 2019 and went on to be part of the team that won the Startimes Uganda Premier League and CECAFA Kagame Cup.

Midfielder Daniel Shabena is one of the players leaving Express FC in this transfer window.

Shabena joined the Red Eagles from BUL FC in 2019 and went on to be part of the team that won the Startimes Uganda Premier League and CECAFA Kagame Cup.

He is now set to join Mbale Heroes and has revealed that he leaves Wankulukuku with nothing but great memories with him.

“Having agreed to terminate my contract, am grateful for my time at a big team in Express FC Uganda,” Shabena revealed through his social media channels ahead of the move.

“The success we reached was worth it all, being crowned with SUPL and Kagame Cup. With big memories, I will live to remember home...best wishes in the future,” he added.

Shabena now joins Mbale Heroes under the tutelage of experienced tactician Asaph Mwebaze.

Having shot to prominence in the 2015/1 season with JMC, Shabena went on to play for the Uganda Hippos team that took part in the CAF U20 qualifiers against Rwanda in 2016.

He would later play for BUL FC before making the move to the Red Eagles in 2019.

Shabena played in the CAF Champions League Preliminaries for Express and was part of coach Wasswa Bbosa’s 2021 UPL title-winning squad, and will add that experience to the Heroes squad.
