Lazaro Muhindo Bwambale, the newly signed KCCA defender, has openly praised his new club as a "big club with clear ambitions" moments after inking a two-year contract. The right-back, who previously played for Kitara, made the statement during his official introduction to the KCCA website, a move that could ruffle feathers among fans of his former team.

"I am happy to join KCCA FC," Lazaro said. "This is a big club with clear ambitions, and I am looking forward to contributing to the club’s success." His comments come in the wake of last season’s controversy, where former KCCA coach Abdallah Mubiru referred to Kitara as a "small club," a remark that had irked the Royals’ supporters.

Lazaro now faces stiff competition for a starting position, with teammates Haruna Lukwago and Gavin Kizito vying for the same role. However, the 25-year-old expressed his readiness to work hard and earn his place. "I am ready to work hard, compete for a starting spot, and help the team achieve its goals, especially bringing back titles to Lugogo," he added.

This move also marks a reunion for Lazaro with tactician Brian Ssenyondo, who recently joined KCCA in a co-coaching role alongside Jackson Magera. Lazaro’s signing is seen as part of KCCA’s broader strategy to strengthen their squad and reclaim their dominance in Ugandan football.

As Lazaro settles into his new club, all eyes will be on how his performance shapes KCCA’s quest for glory in the upcoming season.
