StarTimes Uganda Premier League (SUPL) champions Vipers SC have completed the signing of highly-rated Congolese central defender Kevin Dasylva Bady.
He becomes the club’s third acquisition of the transfer window after Ugandan international midfield maestro Enock Ssebaggala and Liberian striker Mark Yallah.
The 24-year-old defender has penned a three-year contract with the Venoms, joining from DRC top-flight side AS Simba Kamikaze for an undisclosed fee.
Career big leap
He spent last season anchoring the defence at Simba Kamikaze before agreeing terms with Vipers SC.
“I am excited to join this wonderful club and take on a new challenge. This is a huge step in my career,” Bady said during his unveiling.
“I am ambitious and focused on winning titles here. Vipers is the right place for me and I can’t wait to get started. It’s a really good feeling.”
Huge ambitions
Bady is expected to become a crowd favourite at St. Mary’s Stadium, Kitende, with his solid defending, composed play from the back, and ability to inspire confident build-ups from defence to attack – attributes that Vipers hope will translate into goals and victories.
He joins a defensive unit that already includes Rogers Torach, Livingstone Mulondo, Hilary Mukundane, and the versatile Patrick Paul Mbowa as the Venoms prepare for a packed season featuring the CAF Champions League, Uganda Premier League, Uganda Cup, Super Cup, and FUFA Super 8 tournament.
