Share

KAMPALA – Vipers SC have successfully secured the services of talented right-back, Grant Matsiko, signing him on a lucrative two-year employment contract that extends until 2025.

 

The acquisition of Matsiko marks the fifth signing for the club during the ongoing transfer window, following the arrivals of Giancarlo Lopez Rodriguez, Luiz Otavio Santos de Araujo, popularly known as Tinga, Richard Matovu, and David Bagoole.

 

Having showcased his skills at neighbors Wakiso Giants FC over the past two seasons, Matsiko has left a lasting impact, particularly in the previous season where he excelled on the pitch.

 

His exceptional performances have not gone unnoticed, as evidenced by his inclusion in the prestigious StarTimes Uganda Premier League (SUPL) team of the season at the Pilsner UPL Awards. This recognition firmly establishes him as one of the country’s finest players in his position.

 

Expressing his excitement about joining Vipers SC, Matsiko shared his aspirations for the future, stating, “I’m thrilled to be here, and my aim is to achieve great success with this amazing club. I want to be a significant contributor to the team and exhibit a new facet of my skills on the field, as this ambitious and demanding team deserves nothing less.”

 

Matsiko’s arrival will undoubtedly create competition for the starting right-back position, where he will be contending with Ashraf Mandela, who had an exceptional season and played a crucial role in securing both the league and Uganda Cup titles for the Venoms last season.

 

Before joining Wakiso Giants FC, Matsiko served as the captain of Kigezi Homeboyz, leaving a mark with his leadership until 2021.

 

With his signing, Vipers SC looks poised to strengthen their squad and take on new challenges in the upcoming season. Fans eagerly await the impressive displays and contributions that Matsiko will bring to the team.
