Sentamu arrives at the Bugolobi-based side after a stint with Vipers SC, putting pen to paper on a two-year deal that will see him remain at NEC until 2027.
His wealth of experience is expected to be a cornerstone for NEC as they prepare to make their continental debut in the CAF Confederation Cup, a milestone that signals the club’s ambitions beyond domestic football.
Previously, Ssentamu, who has also featured for URA FC in the past, has won six Uganda Premier League titles and three Uganda Cups.
