Africa-Press – Rwanda. <\/strong><\/span>Rwandan teenager Noe Uwimana has joined Virginia Tech Hookies FC from Philadelphia Union.<\/p>\n

Uwimana, 18, penned a two-year deal with the club which is owned by Virginia Tech University as he continues his football development.<\/p>\n

The contract will be active effective August 1, 2023 when the US mid-season transfer window opens.<\/p>\n

Uwimana started his career with Richmond Academy before joining Philadelphia Union in February 2021 where he has progressed through their U19.<\/p>\n

Born in the US to a Rwandan father and a Tunisian mother, the youngster was invited last month for Rwanda’s AFCON qualifier against Mozambique but withdrew from the camp following an injury he suffered during the national team training.<\/p>\n
