Photos: Amagaju FC builds new core by signing triple Burundians

Amagaju FC have reinforced their squad with the addition of three new players as they aim to improve on last season’s underwhelming performance in the Rwanda Premier League.

The club has signed 21-year-old winger Assouman Fati from Kayanza United, adding pace and creativity to their attacking options.

Joining him is Nibibona Eddy, a 23-year-old Burundian striker who arrives from Rukunzo FCD on a two-year deal. Known for his sharp finishing and movement, Eddy is expected to provide much-needed firepower up front.

Also signing a two-year contract is NTAKIRUTUMANA Franck, 23, formerly of Musongati FC in Burundi. 

His versatility and strength in midfield are anticipated to add stability and depth to the team.

The trio's arrival comes as Amagaju FC look to turn the page after a disappointing 2024–25 season, in which they finished 11th in the league with 36 points from 30 games a performance that left club officials and fans seeking significant improvement.

With the new signings, Amagaju FC aim to inject fresh energy and competitiveness into the squad as preparations for the upcoming campaign intensify.
