Kimera joins Gomba from 2023 champions Busiro Ssaza Team, while Ssenyonga arrives from defending champions Buweekula Ssaza Team.

At full-back, right-back Fahad Aniku has joined from Buweekula, while left-back Collin Ssemanda has also made the move from the defending champions.

Defensive midfielder Alfred Ssebunya has equally joined the Lions from Buweekula Ssaza Team.

The trio of attacking midfielders Moses Abiti, Isham Kibirige, and Owen Mawejje have also completed moves to Gomba.

Meanwhile, Gomba Lions appointed Felix Ssekabuuza as their head coach ahead of the new campaign. The tactician guided Buweekula Ssaza Team to the Masaza Cup title last year.
