Almost two months after signing for the club, Cliff Nyakeya, John Makwata and Josphat Lopaga finally made their debuts for AFC Leopards with head coach Patrick Aussmes impressed with the competition they will add to the squad.Ingwe signed the players in the January transfer window but were slapped with another transfer embargo for failing to fully settle their dues owed to former player Soter Kayumba.#OursForever pic.twitter.com/Qd8y7wR8BR— AFC Leopards (@AFCLeopards) March 21, 2022 Aussems noted that the trio will add to competition for places in the squad but admitted that they are not guaranteed a starting berth owing to their experience.“The new players give me options so it means we can have different formations, it’s not that they came in the second half and made the game better that they will be assured of starting positions. I don’t forget that I have played 21 games with these young players who played well and were there for the club but now we will begin to be competitive so I’m satisfied,” said Aussems.

All those who know football saw that it was only one team on the pitch in the second half. In the first half, it was much more balanced but unfortunately, we gave them the goal but the good thing now is that I have options,” added Aussems.
