Uganda Premier League side Wakiso Giants have confirmed the signing of promising forward Derrick Kaija.

The Purple Sharks confirmed the signing of the electric youngster via the club's official website on Wednesday, August 8.

"Wakiso Giants FC is delighted to announce the signing of forward Kaija Derrick from UPDF FC on a three-year contract," the statement partly reads.

Kaija's football journey has been on a great rise as he managed four assists in the 13 games played for his previous side UPDF.

Wakiso Giants head coach Steven Bengo expressed his excitement about the new player before adding that he has lots of potential.

"Kaija is a young player with immense potential. His vision on the field and ability to read the game makes him a valuable asset. We believe he will fit in perfectly with our playing style and contribute significantly to our attacking prowess," he said.

Kaija becomes the club's second club signing after the acquisition of Zambian forward Eric Kabamba.
