Newly promoted FUFA Women Super League side URA Ladies are continuing their preparations for the new season with the club stepping up efforts to strengthen its squad.The Tax Collectors have made experience one of their key priorities in the transfer market as they seek to assemble a competitive team capable of holding its own in the top division.After announcing the signing of midfielder Shamusa Najjuma from Kampala Queens, now KCCA Women, URA Ladies have followed up with another experienced addition.The club has confirmed the signing of defender Patience Nabulobi on a two-year deal, further boosting the team’s options ahead of the new campaign.Nabulobi joins URA Ladies with considerable experience in the top flight, having previously featured for Uganda Martyrs Lubaga, Makerere University and Kampala Queens.
Her experience at several established clubs is expected to be valuable to the newly promoted side as they prepare for the demands of Women Super League football.URA Ladies have been among the active clubs in the transfer market and are looking to strengthen different areas of the team before the start of the new season.The club is not only focusing on the playing squad but is also working on strengthening its technical department.Reports indicate that URA Ladies are in discussions with Kawempe Muslim assistant coach Moses Nkata over a possible appointment as the club’s permanent head coach.Nkata is no stranger to the URA project, having been part of the technical team that helped the club secure promotion to the FUFA Women Super League.
His involvement with the team dates back to the period when Kawempe Muslim Junior Team served as the women’s side for URA FC under an initial agreement.When URA FC eventually completed the acquisition of the women’s team, a large number of players from the Kawempe Muslim Junior Team were retained.The coaching staff was also largely maintained, with Nkata and head coach Ayub Khalifa among those who remained involved with the team.With the new season drawing closer, URA Ladies are expected to remain active as they continue building both their playing squad and technical team for their first campaign back in the top flight.
