The Ugandan defender, known for his tough tackling and aerial command, brings valuable experience to the Royals’ backline. He has previously played for Bugesera FC in Rwanda, and Ugandan giants KCCA FC, where he proved to be a reliable and versatile option in defence.
“A true warrior with unmatched energy and versatility, ready to fight for the badge and ignite the Royals’ spirit!” Kitara FC added, highlighting their confidence in Nemeyimana’s ability to galvanize the team.
The arrival of the 26-year-old defender is seen as a major boost for the Hoima-based side, who are aiming to build on their recent progress in the Uganda Premier League.
