Ugandan midfielder Pius Chris Akena has penned
a two-year deal with record Kenya Premier League champions Gor Mahia, in the
run up to the CECAFA Kagame Cup and the CAF Champions League.
Prior to signing with Gor, Akena was a free
agent after his one-year contract with Greek second-tier side Apollon Pontou
FC ended last month, after playing seven matches without scoring.
He had previously made a historic move to UAE
second tier club Al Rams Club in January 2023, after leaving Shabab Al Ahli
Club of Dubai in 2021, where he won the U21 and U19 pro-league titles.
Before that, Akena played for Uganda Premier
League side Maroons.
He later progressed to playing in Europe,
signing a one-year contract with Greek third tier club Megas Alexandros Agias
Marinas for the 2023–24 season.
The left-footed midfielder was part of the
Uganda Cranes team under coach Micho in 2022, and his inclusion in K’Ogalo is
part of new coach Leonardo Neiva’s efforts to beef up the squad ahead of the
busy local and continental assignments.
