“Yes, Mbarara City FC has signed Paul Mucureezi. Confirmed Mbarara City president Mwine Mwaka.
According to Mucureezi’s representative Joseph Ahumuza, his client signed a one year deal with Mbarara City after weighing the available offers at his disposal with an option of getting elevated to greater heights.
Besides winning two Uganda Premier League titles, Mucureezi also won two Uganda Cup trophies, one Super Cup with KCCA F.C.
