Barclays English Premier league side, Southampton have offered Ugandan-England based central midfielder Bevis Kristofer Kizito Mugabi a two-year contract, to expire in 2017.
Mugabi, who moved to Southampton in July 2011 after being released by Fulham, has progressed through the ranks and his form for the Under-18 side saw him named on the standby list for two England Under-17 squads.
Let's Be Friends:
Mugabi has dual citizen (England and Uganda) and could feature for the Cranes if he chooses to. He becomes the third Ugandan to join English Premier league following Joel Kitamirike ( Chelsea 2001–2004) and Savio Nsereko (West Ham 2009).
“I am delighted to get it actually signed and all sorted so I can now just focus on my football and prove my place,” Mugabi told Southampton’s official website saintsfc.co.uk.
“The next progression for me is first team football, so hopefully I can carry on working hard and prove myself in training and matches,” he added.
