Tanzania League giants YANGA African Sports CLUB have acquired the services of SC Villa captain, Gift Fred.

The Uganda Cranes International center half has of recent been linked to a variety of clubs like Vipers SC, St George (Ethiopia) and S.African side CAPE TOWN CITY FC .

The SC Villa skipper was instrumental in the club’s last incredible season when they only bottle the league trophy to winners Vipers SC and runners up KCCA FC on the last day.

They finished 3^rd on 51 points behind Vipers SC and KCCA FC in the 1^st and second positions respectively when they painfully lost 1-0 to URA FC on the final day at Muteesa II Stadium, Wankulukuku.

Gift Fred’s deal gets done hours after losing the best defender of the season award to Vipers SC man Hillary Mukundane.
