Former Uganda Hippos (U20) captain and SC Villa defender Gavin Kizito Mugweeri has completed his move to Egyptian side Al Ittihad Alexandria Club.
The youthful defender has reportedly signed a two-year contract. Reports indicate that his signature came after the recommendation of head coach Zoran Maki.
The defender is a product of the FUFA Junior League and has previously played for SC Villa for the past three years. However, he has been a free agent since he ran down his contract at SC Villa.
The 20-year-old captained the Uganda U-20 side during the U-20 AFCON tournament in Mauritania, where they were defeated by Ghana.
He becomes the third Ugandan to play for the Egyptian side after Emmanuel Okwi and Khalid Aucho.
Al Ittihad Alexandria plays in the Egyptian Premier League, the highest league in the Egyptian football league system.
