Kitara is Aheebwa's home club, and it is now managed by Brian Ssenyondo, the 25-year-old's former coach during their time together at Mbarara City FC.

Two newly promoted StarTimes Uganda Premier League teams have shown interest in signing striker Brian Aheebwa.

Aheebwa is a free agent after his three-year contract with the 13-time Uganda Premier League champions KCCA FC expired at the end of June.

Talks are ongoing between the player and KCCA to try and hand him a new short-term contract at Lugogo, but other teams are closely monitoring this situation.

Kitara FC and NEC FC, who gained promotion to the top flight ahead of the 2023/24 season, have already contacted the player, Pulse Sports reliably understands.

However, the player's preference is to first listen to the Lugogo-based outfit's proposal.

Should moving away from Lugogo become the only option, Kitara could have an edge over NEC in landing the forward.
