SC Villa have strengthened their attacking options with the acquisition of FUFA Big League Golden Boot winner Isaac Gumperom, handing the prolific striker a four-year contract ahead of the 2026/27 season.
The Jogoos have moved swiftly in the transfer market as they continue reshaping their squad for the new campaign, with the highly rated 24-year-old becoming one of their latest additions.
Gumperom arrives at Villa Park after a sensational season with Young Elephants Academy FC, where he emerged as the FUFA Big League’s leading scorer with 17 goals. His remarkable consistency in front of goal earned him the league’s Golden Boot and attracted interest from several top-flight clubs before SC Villa secured his signature.
Known for his intelligent movement inside the penalty area, aerial strength and composed finishing, Gumperom established himself as one of the most feared strikers in the second tier. His ability to create space and convert chances played a crucial role in Young Elephants Academy’s impressive campaign.
The move offers the forward an opportunity to test himself at the highest level of Ugandan football while giving SC Villa another reliable goal-scoring option as they seek to challenge for domestic honours next season.
Villa believe the striker’s arrival will add healthy competition in attack and provide the firepower needed to improve on last season’s performances.
Having conquered the FUFA Big League scoring charts, Gumperom now faces the challenge of replicating his goal-scoring exploits in the StarTimes Uganda Premier League as he begins a new chapter with Uganda’s record league champions.
