Sam Kizito has signed his first professional contract with SC Villa, becoming the latest of the agency's academy-age signings to break through into senior football.
Sam joined the Lumasa youth development programme at 14 and has spent the past four years in the SC Villa academy. The new deal keeps him at the club through the next two seasons with structured first-team integration.
Education provisions remain a non-negotiable part of the contract: Sam will continue his secondary studies alongside training, an arrangement Lumasa requires for every player under 21.
'The football alone never made him ready for this contract — keeping his life balanced did,' said Grace Ssempala, Head of Youth Development.
