The sharp shooter joins the leaders from Police FC and has penned down one year employment contract. Avemah began his career with Teresa FC in 2017 and progressed with it to the Kampala regional league where he emerged as the top scorer in 2018.
He joined the futsal trend becoming the top scorer with 46 goals while playing for Yeak Kabowa in the 2018/19 Futsal Super League. A clinical and all round attacker, Avemah was captured by Uganda Premier league side, Express FC the following season before he was transferred to Elman SC of Somalia.
In 2023, the forward returned to Uganda with Police FC where he scored seven goals in 14 games.
Shafiq Avemah expressed his gratitude as he stated that, “Lugazi FC’s style of play inspired me to come here, and I am sure I can do the best with the team’s good build up play.”
“I know this comes with pressure because the team will need goals from me but I am that kind of player who likes pressure because even diamond is made out of pressure. Pressure actually pushes me to put up a difference. So, I don’t have any problem with pressure, I just love it.”
