Hugely experienced defensive midfielder Taddeo Lwanga has completed a return to reigning Uganda Premier League champions Vipers SC.
The 31-year-old, who has been a free agent following his exit from Rwandan giants APR FC, has penned a two-year employment contract with the Venoms.
He becomes Vipers’ fifth signing in the current transfer window, after Liberian Mark Yallah, DR Congo’s Kevin Dasylva Bady, Nigerian native Odili Chukwuma and Uganda Cranes midfielder Enock Ssebaggala.
As per the club, the agreement and subsequent unveiling comes after he impressed head coach Ivan Jacky Minnaert during his three-week pre-season training with the domestic double champions.
Lwanga has enjoyed stints at Egypt’s Tanta FC, Tanzanian powerhouse Simba SC, Djibouti’s Artar/Solar7 as well as at his most recent side, APR since his 2019 departure from the St. Mary’s Stadium, Kitende.
At APR, he won two Rwanda Premier League championships. He also won league titles with Simba, and Vipers in the 2017/18 campaign.
Internationally, Lwanga is a full Ugandan international, who also played an astounding role in helping Uganda return to Africa Cup of Nations for the 2025 edition after missing out in 2021 and 2023.
