SC Villa have moved decisively to address their attacking concerns, unveiling prolific striker Isaac Gumperom as a key addition ahead of the 2026/27 season.
The forward joins from FUFA Big League outfit Young Elephants Academy, arriving with a formidable reputation after a standout 2025/26 campaign that saw him finish as the division’s top scorer with 17 goals.
His clinical edge in front of goal marks him as one of the most exciting attacking prospects stepping into the Uganda Premier League.
Gumperom’s signing comes at a pivotal moment for the record champions, who are rebuilding their forward line following the exits of Charles Lwanga and Hassan Mubiru.
The club has been actively seeking a reliable goal source, and the 17-goal marksman fits that profile with precision.
Confirmed on Tuesday, the deal underlines Villa’s intent to reassert themselves among the domestic elite, as they continue to reshape their squad for a renewed title push.
He becomes the club’s second acquisition of the current transfer window, following the arrival of midfielder John Innocent Asiimwe from Express FC, as the Jogoos steadily piece together a balanced and competitive unit.
With expectations mounting, Villa will be banking on Gumperom to seamlessly transition to top-flight football and replicate his scoring exploits as they prepare to challenge reigning champions Vipers SC and perennial contenders KCCA FC for major honours.
