Mukura Victory Sports & Loisirs’ first-team goalkeeper, Nicholas Sebwato has signed a new contract with the Huye-based club. The new contract will see him stay at the club until 2025.
The Ugandan-born goalkeeper signed a contract extension with the club on Monday, July 3rd, putting an end to rumors of a move to another Rwanda Premier League side.
The 30-year-old goalkeeper’s contract ended this summer, and he had been linked with a move to Sunrise, among other teams, but he opted to stay at Huye International Stadium to remain the club’s number one.
Sebwato got roughly Rwf 10 million as a signing-on fee and one million Rwandan francs as a monthly wage under the new contract, making him the most expensive goalie in the club’s history.
Sebwato joined Mukura from Sofapaka in 2021, following an unsuccessful pre-season stint with Tanzanian club Namungo. Since then, the Huye-based side has been in good hands, and Sebwato proved to be one of the best all-around goalkeepers in the Rwanda Premier League.
With Number 45 on his back, Sebwato kept 13 clean sheets in his RPL debut season, winning the hearts of Yellow and Black supporters and being nominated for the Rwanda Premier League team of the year by many media outlets.
Besides 7 clean sheets in the league in the 2022/2023 season, the Former Onduparaka GK helped Mukura finish sixth despite a bad recruitment policy prior to the season. Mukura finished third in the 2023 Peace Cup alongside Sebwato under the direction of Lotfi Afahmia.
He has formerly played at Proline FC, Sports Club Villa, Solito Bright Stars, Onduparaka FC, and Sofapaka
