“We are delighted to announce the return of Yunus Sentamu to the Club. The striker has signed a two-year contract.” Vipers announced on their official website
On signing his contract, Sentamu said: “Everyone knows the special relationship l have with this club and it has always felt like home to me. My desire to win is still the same and l look forward to the opportunity to help the team achieve. I am excited for this next chapter of my career.”
Vipers head coach Fred Kajoba said: “l know Sentamu’s personality very well and l know he will add alot of value and fire power upfront.”
Sentamu played for St Mary’s Boarding Senior Secondary School Kitende and Vipers SC. He made his name over one season at Vipers scoring six goals in 13 games before moving to Congolese side AS Vita in 2014.
In 2011, Sentamu was St Juliana’s top-scorer in the post-primary qualifiers with 13 goals. They were knocked out by St Mary’s SS Kitende at the quarter-finals. His exploits didn’t go unnoticed. Kitende snapped him up immediately and during the qualifiers for the 2013 Copa Coca-Cola, he scored 24 goals.

His electrifying displays in the Africa Nations Championship (CHAN) in South Africa in 2014 for Uganda Cranes – including a brace against Burkina Faso and consolation strike against Morocco – made the scouting agents sit up and take notice.
