Buhimba United Saints FC have made a strong statement of intent ahead of their maiden Uganda Premier League season by securing the services of experienced defender Maxwell Owachigiu, popularly known as Kamurali.
The former Kitara FC captain has committed to a two-year deal with the Saints, joining as both a defensive pillar and a leader in the dressing room. Owachigiu’s pedigree speaks for itself — he skippered Kitara to their historic Uganda Cup triumph, cementing his reputation as one of the league’s most reliable defenders.
Saints president Eng. Ahuura believes the signing underlines the club’s ambition: “Maxwell is not just a player; he’s a leader. His experience will guide us through what is an exciting but challenging campaign. We’re thrilled to have him with us.”
For Owachigiu, the move marks a new chapter: “It’s an honour to join Buhimba United Saints at such a special time. I’m ready to work hard, share my experience, and help this team achieve its goals.”
The versatile defender is expected to bring resilience and tactical awareness to Buhimba’s backline as they prepare to face established Premier League sides. His arrival also sends a clear signal that the Kikuube-based club are not merely aiming to survive in their debut season but to compete with authority.
With the addition of Owachigiu, the Saints’ preparations for life in the top tier gain both steel and inspiration — a blend they hope will carry them through a historic first campaign.
