He expressed his gratitude: “I deeply appreciate the club administration, the technical team, and my teammates for entrusting me with this role.”
“Being the vice-captain is an honour, and it only fuels my desire to excel even further,” Otim told Pulse Sports.

SUPL Self-drive motivating Denis Otim’s excellence
Denis Otim exemplifies such an athlete. The goalkeeper, who has made a blazing start with his new team, URA FC, achieving two clean sheets and earning a Man of the Match award in as many games, attributes his success to his unwavering self-motivation.
In fact, he had previously served as vice-captain at Express FC, succeeding Enock Walusimbi who had departed for Scotland's second-tier team, Peterhead FC.
Otim's prowess on the field is evident. Under the management of Fred Muhumuza, the former Uganda Hippos goalkeeper has already secured two clean sheets and earned a 'man of the match' accolade in the league.
Similarly, team captain Enock Walusimbi brings a wealth of leadership experience, having previously guided Express FC to both the 2021 league championship and the CECAFA Kagame Cup in the same year.
Currently, URA FC maintains an unbeaten league streak, tallying one victory and two draws in their recent matches.
