“I am so glad we [management] managed to sign Mutyaba,” Juuko told the club’s official website. “We played together at Victoria University and bonded very well.
“Mutyaba brings a lot on the table both on and off the pitch, his creativity is unmatched, therefore, I am positive that as long as we double our efforts, this is going to be a fantastic season for the Express nation.”
On signing the player, Express revealed on their official website: “They don’t come often and as creative as Muzamiru [Mutyaba].
“The ever composed and skilful creative midfield gem will now call Express home for the next one year joining as a free agent after he ran down his contract with KCCA last season.”

The 27-year-old who will don his favourite shirt, the number 10 has explained the reason why he made the move to sign for the six-time league champions.
“First of all, I would like to thank the management of the club [Express] for making this happen,” Mutyaba said after penning the contract.
“Yes, I had many options on the table but none fitted the bill to my satisfaction, I join a club that has a lot of ambition, good organization, and great players, therefore I couldn’t have made a better decision.”
The new signing was an unused substitute in his team s league assignment against Onduparaka.
The Red Eagles came into the match seeking a positive start and they indeed took a deserved lead in the 11th minute when Frank Kalanda converted from the penalty spot.
Despite taking the lead, Express still looked vulnerable at the back and it needed the experience of Uganda international defender Murushid Juuko to deny Onduparaka, as he raced to clear a ball that was rolling into an empty net in the 18th minute.
Godfrey Lwesibawa of Express was booked in the 20th minute as Onduparaka continued to search for a leveller which never came, with the teams heading into the half-time break with Express leading 1-0.
