Onduparaka star Sekajugo wants to impress with Uganda Cranes

Kampala. Uganda Cranes coach Sebastian Desabre seems to be finally getting his act together but in lacking a reliable creative playmaker, he still has a missing bit in his jigsaw.
The Frenchman has heeded to the pleas of a majority of football stakeholders - to extend an olive branch to in form Onduparaka left foward Vianne Sekajugo.
If being named the inaugural FUFA Drum tourney most valuable player doesn’t speak volumes then an impressive start to the Startimes Uganda Premier League did wonders for Sekajugo - and he expected the call up news. “I’m not surprised at all because this is what I have been working for all along.To me it is not all about getting a call up,but becoming a main play in the Cranes side like Denis Onyango,” Sekajugo told Daily Monitor yesterday.

Brilliant run of form
From scoring eight league goals last season as Onduparaka finished fourth, dragging Buganda province to Fufa Drum success to inspiring them a surprise league start, the diminutive left winger is ready for the slot battle with the likes of Joseph Ochaya and Allan Kateregga that awaits him.
“I will play to my best and the good thing there are players like Farouk Miya, Milton Karisa and Denis Guma who have interacted with before,” Sekajugo, formerly with The Saints and JMC revealed.
Onduparaka deputy coach Simeon Masaba, also a former trusted Cranes right back says Sekajugo’s national team summoning is long overdue.
“You don’t get many players here that can deliver vital goals and breakdown defences like he does.May be if it is his size that may let him down,” Masaba argued.
