Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>SC Villa\u2019s foundation at the back and in attack last season, Gift Fred and Charles Bbaale, are hoping to use their new addresses as a conduit to the next level.<\/p>\n

Gift and Bbaale, both in their 20s, recently completed their moves to Yanga of Tanzania and Rwanda\u2019s Rayon Sports respectively after deciding not to renew their contracts at Villa.<\/p>\n

Some have wondered whether the moves are the right ones for one whose ambition is to play in top leagues in Europe.<\/p>\n

But when you look at opportunities for showing what one can in the upcoming season, and financial benefits, it is hard to argue against the duo\u2019s decisions.<\/p>\n

Yanga were the benchmark in the region last season after winning their national league title and a couple of domestic cups, as well as reaching the finals of the Caf Confederation Cup.<\/p>\n

Their success that season raked in about Shs20b for the Tanzanian club, a wild dream for other East African teams.<\/p>\n

Rayon Sport, who – like Villa – finished third in the Rwandan top flight league, may not boast of such monetary figures.<\/p>\n

But that they will represent their country in next season\u2019s Caf Confederation Cup provides a perfect opportunity for Bbaale to scale the heights.<\/p>\n

\u201cYanga is self explanatory for Gift,\u201d Dennis Namanya, the two players\u2019 representative.<\/p>\n

\u201cOf course I will not mention the figures involved but what I can tell you is that the boy\u2019s contract is good. At Yanga, he is earning like five-six times what he was getting at Villa.\u201d<\/p>\n

It is reported that Villa players earn between Shs500,000 and Shs1m per month.<\/p>\n

Namanya added: \u201cWe all know Yanga and its values. The club profile is high and for Gift this is his first time to play at such a professional club. The coach (Argentine Miguel Angel Gamondi) also likes him and Gift will benefit from his guidance.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Bbaale\u2019s move to Rayon, which on face value does not carry as much weight, Namanya offered an optimistic view.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith Rayon,\u201d he said, \u201cIt\u2019s a good entry point through which the player could connect to Belgium, and also there is a good opportunity to play in the Caf Confederation Cup, where he could attract interest from other top African clubs.\u201d<\/p>\n

It must be disappointing for Villa fans to see their best players leave for free, and even more worrying that the club let their contracts run down without tying them down.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe club wanted them to stay,\u201d assured Namanya, \u201cand there is absolutely no problem between the club and the boys.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey were offered new contracts but the boys thought they were not good enough on sign-on fees and salaries. And Villa also has a structure and didn\u2019t want to go beyond that.\u201d<\/p>\n

KCCA, Vipers keeping busy<\/b><\/p>\n

Elsewhere, the other big two, KCCA and champions Vipers SC, continue shaping the conversation in the transfer market, releasing a host of players as well as bringing in new ones.<\/p>\n

Brazilians Joao Gabriel Esteves Cardoso, Michael Vinicius Silva De Morais, and Angolans Carlos Da Silva Cungulo and Aires Emilson Gonzaga headline signings at KCCA.<\/p>\n

The Brazilian rush started at Vipers, though, where Giancarlo Lopez Rodriguez and Luiz Otavio Santos de Araujo lead the signings including Ugandans Richard Matovu and David Bagoole.<\/p>\n

In the same vein, KCCA have also released nine players, who have either run down their contracts or mutually ended dealings.<\/p>\n

They include Benjamin Ochan, Brian Aheebwa, Ali Mwirusi Ramadhan, Geofrey Wasswa, Brian Majwega, Allan Okello, Mustafa Kizza and Brian Kayanja.<\/p>\n
