Laban Tibita and Norman Namanya have signed new contracts at URA, the club has confirmed.
The two playmakers had their contracts expire at the end of June but will now stay at the club for the next two years until 2027.
“URA Football Club is pleased to announce that gifted midfielder Laban Tibita has officially renewed his contract with the club for an additional two years, a move that will see him remain a Tax Collector until June 2027,” a statement on the club website read.
“Norman “Nani” Namanya has penned a new two-year deal to stay in the heart of the URA FC midfield engine — more grit, more passion, more TAXING football.”
Tibita said: “I’m really happy to extend my stay at URA FC. I feel at home here and thankful to the management, coaches, and my teammates for believing in me again. This renewal is another motivation for me to work harder, help the team win trophies, and improve on my own numbers in the next two years.”
Club CEO Allan Munaaba said: “Laban has been a true professional and a consistent performer since his arrival. He embodies the values of URA FC and we believe his best years are still ahead. We are excited to continue this journey together.”
URA finished last season in 4th position with 52 points and was eliminated from the Stanbic Uganda Cup in the round of 16 by Kataka FC.
They are aiming at ending a trophy drought that spans nine years having last lifted silverware in 2014 when they beat KCCA to the Stanbic Uganda Cup.
The four-time league winners have not won a league trophy since 2011.
