NEC FC welcomes their newest addition with open arms. Kayanja Brian, a formidable striker whose journey has been marked by ups and downs, is now ready to shine on the grand stage with the Diehards.
Having displayed his goal-scoring prowess at UPDF FC during the 2020/21 season, netting 7 goals and assisting twice in 23 appearances, Kayanja caught the attention of KCCA FC, who swiftly secured his services. Dreams turned into reality, but fate had other plans. In the blink of an eye, an unfortunate injury struck, leaving Kayanja sidelined after just two appearances for KCCA FC. Determined to rise again, he underwent surgery and faced a challenging year-long recovery.
The striker’s resolve remained unshaken, and he sought solace in the game he loved. Loaned to Maroons FC, Kayanja battled back to fitness, featuring in 11 matches during the second round of the 2022/23 season. His fighting spirit shone through, proving that setbacks were merely stepping stones to greatness.
Before his time at KCCA FC, Kayanja had graced the field for Bright Stars FC, showcasing his talent in 17 games and scoring 5 crucial goals. His journey was not limited to club football alone, as he is proudly representing Kampala Province in the prestigious FUFA Drum, netting their solitary goal in two games played so far.
Now, NEC FC has offered the diehard striker a second chance at glory. With his signature on a two-year contract, Kayanja’s eyes gleam with determination to make a resounding impact in the StarTimes Uganda Premier League. The Diehards’ vibrant spirit aligns perfectly with Kayanja’s unwavering dedication to the beautiful game, making him an integral part of the family.
As the curtains rise on a new chapter in his career, Kayanja Brian stands ready to conquer challenges, bring joy to fans, and leave an indelible mark on Ugandan football. Embracing the support of NEC FC’s passionate supporters, he steps onto the hallowed turf, seeking redemption, and ready to etch his name in football folklore.
The journey may have been arduous, but the fire in his heart burns brighter than ever before. Kayanja Brian’s story of resilience and triumph will resonate through NEC FC’s legacy, forever reminding us that from adversity, true greatness is born.
