Express FC’s off-season spending spree saw them acquire 18 new players in a bid to transform from a club fighting to avoid relegation to one competing for a top four position this season.
Among the new players included Cranes defender Murushid Jjuuko whose signing was viewed as a sign of ambition.
He is now expected to be joined by another high profile signing after the club agreed terms with experienced playmaker Muzamir Mutyaba.
The player has been training with the club at the Betway Muteesa II Stadium over the last two weeks and is believed to have signed a one-year contract.
His arrival reunites him with Jjuuko with whom they won the regional Nile Basin Cup in 2014 when both were at Sports Club Victoria University.
It is at KCCA however where Mutyaba is most remembered having spent five years and was the longest serving player at the club under Mike Mutebi when the pair joined in 2015.
The pair who also crossed paths at Maroons where Mutyaba started out are believed to have suffered a breakdown in relationship last year with the often reserved player opting not to renew his contract with the club contrary to popular opinion that he was deemed surplus to requirements.
In his time at Lugogo, the stylish Mutyaba who was also the 2017 Fufa footballer of the year, won eleven trophies including three league titles, two Uganda Cups and the Kagame Cup and his departure was a surprise to many of the club's fans.
Despite his languid nature, he was one of the club's most consistent performers during his time at Lugogo and is expected to bring alot of creativity to an Express side that relied mostly on wing play for creativity.
Express are one of five unbeaten sides and currently lie sixth with eight points from four games, one less than the majority of the other 15-teams as the league awaits restart following the country's participation at the Chan tournament.
