First Blood in the Transfer Window: John Asiimwe is a Jogoo!

SC Villa is delighted to announce the signing of promising left winger John Asiimwe, who becomes the club’s first acquisition ahead of the 2026/27 season.

The 17-year-old has penned a three-year contract with the record Uganda Premier League champions as the Jogoos continue to strengthen their squad for the upcoming campaign.

Asiimwe joins SC Villa after spending the last two seasons at Express FC. A graduate of the Uganda Cubs side that represented the country at the FIFA U-17 World Cup last year, he is regarded as one of Uganda’s brightest young talents.

Before joining Express, Asiimwe developed his game at Prosper Soccer Academy and also featured for Bukedea Comprehensive School during the USSSA Games, where he showcased his immense potential.

Speaking after completing his move, the youngster expressed his excitement about joining the Jogoos.

“I am glad to have joined Uganda’s best champions. It’s a pleasure for me to be here, and I can’t wait to create great memories with this wonderful club.”

Everyone at SC Villa warmly welcomes John to the club and wishes him every success as he begins this exciting new chapter in his career.

Welcome to the Jogoos, John!
