Sinan RAJUB SENOGA
Henry Kitegenyi has completed a move to Rwanda Premier League newcomers Sunrise FC from Mbarara City.
Kitegenyi spent the closing half of the previous season at Kigezi Homeboyz in the FUFA Big League.
A move to Rwanda opens a fresh chapter for Kitegenyi who has previously played for clubs like Vipers SC, Kansai Plascon and Mbarara City.
He has been involved in the club’s friendly games against APR FC and Etoile de l’Est played during the course of this week.
Kitegenyi is expected to lead the club’s hunt for goals in their return to the topflight league having won promotion from the second tier last season.
Sunrise has had a good relationship with a number of Ugandan players in the recent past.
Pius Wangi, Brian Ssali, Ibrahim Kizza, Yafesi Mubiru, Sulaiman Majanjalo and Robert Mukhongtya have turned out for the Nyagatare based side in the last six years.
Moses Basena and Jackson Mayanja have also coached Sunrise during the aforementioned period.
Sunrise will open their 2026/27 season with an away game against Etincelles on 5th September.
