Ugandan defender Gavin Mugweri has inked a four-year employment contract with Egyptian entity Al Ittihad Alexandria Club.

The development comes after his tenure at Uganda’s most successful club, SC Villa came to an end.

The former Jogoo youngster rose through the ranks of the team's youth structure to get promoted to the senior team.

He had earlier youthful spells with the St Mary’s Boarding Secondary School – Kitende before SC Villa offered him the first professional contract.

He leaves with experienceof having captained the Uganda U-17 and U-20 sides on regional and continental levels.

Gavin (Mugweri) is a rare personality of a footballer. He has been hard working throughout his career both in training sessions and matches.  He is also disciplined to the dot and I fancy his chances of progressing not only at Al Ittihad Alexanderia in Egypt, but also elsewhere with plenty of years by his side. I thank the coaches who have managed him as a young person until lately. We thank Al Ittihad Alexandria for the opportunity with a four year deal (with a clause to leave if any offer from Europe comes by). It will present him with a great platform to develop into a great world-class defender.

Mugweri’s new home in Egypt is based in the famous Red Sea Governorate. They host their home matches at the magnificent world class Alexandria and Borg El Arab Stadia.
