Rayon Sports have reached advanced talks with right-back Denis Rukundo as the club continues to seek a replacement for Eric Iradukunda who crossed to Police FC last month.
Rukundo, who plays for Uganda Police, has previously played in the 2017-18 season for APR and helped the military side to win the league championship.
“Rayon are a team that I would love to play for, hopefully, the talks will culminate into a contract,” Rukundo said in an interview.
“My agent is in talks with the club, and so far so good.”
Nine-time champions Rayon will start the season 2020-21 with a completely different squad from last season after the departure of several of their first-team players including skipper Eric Rutanga and goalkeeper Yves Kimenyi who went to Police and SC Kiyovu, respectively.
Other players that left the club included left-back Eric Irambona, who also joined SC Kiyovu, now clubless midfielder Fabrice Mugheni and Ghanaian striker Michael Sarpong, whose contract was terminated in April.
