Emuge who is 28 has played for top Ugandan teams KCC, Express Red Eagles and most recently for upstart team Kira Young.<\/p>\n<p>In Uganda Emuge is known as a defender who reads the game well, has excellent aerial ability and is a solid tackler. he will partner with fellow Ugandan Ivan Anguyo or with Donald Mosoti depending on circumstances. Emuge given his physical attributes will be especially useful against robust strikers.<\/p>\n<p>It is now being reported that the reason Emuge&#8217;s name was not included in the CAF list is because his international transfer certificate did not arrive on time. According to futaa.com, Emuge&#8217;s ITC came on January 22. A week late. He will thus be unavailable for the CAF cup.<\/p>\n<p>Paul Kiongera, the highly touted signing from KCB has already settled in at the club. He put on an excellent show at the Saturday match against. He seems to have already developed an understanding with Dan Sserunkuma and Rama Salim with whom he has played at the national team. This bodes well for the season. \u201cI took it as an opportunity and I appreciate every moment. It hasn\u2019t been difficult adapting because the football here is so good and I\u2019m very happy with how everything has been.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe coaches give me confidence and I hope to keep improving to help the team as much as possible. I enjoyed my competitive debut against Sony and the team is full of good and talented players. It\u2019s been life full of football and fun right from training, he told the club&#8217;s website gormahiafc.co.ke.<\/p>\n<p>And as usual, the fans are part of the reason why so many players want to play for Gor Mahia. It is what attracted Giovani Rodriguez and Danish striker Rasmus Jacobsen. On the fans, Kiongera said \u201cI love the fans and the way they show us support even during training. They are one of the best things about football for the players. We need the fans behind us because it helps the team play well on the pitch.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>New signing David Otieno has expressed admiration for coach Logarusic. \u201cI am impressed with the coach so far, he has a way of working that is different to the rest,\u201d said Otieno to supersport.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe speaks to every player like his family and treats them like equals. Also, he is not afraid to tell someone what he thinks, which is good for me. Then he has a certain energy to him. He does not just stand there and say nothing, he walks around and gives instructions.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0Otieno who is a defender is another highly experienced player having been at Gor Mahia briefly in 2006 before joining Tusker and Western Stima. Otieno, Zachary Onyango and Kiongera were the three new signings who impressed Logarusic the most last weekend<\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-background-color\">\n\t\t\t  <div \n\t\t\t  \tclass = \"fb-comments\" \n\t\t\t  \tdata-href = \"https:\/\/gormahia.net\/latest\/news\/new-signings-settle-in\/\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-numposts = \"10\"\n\t\t\t  \tdata-lazy = \"true\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-colorscheme = \"light\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-order-by = \"social\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-mobile=true>\n\t\t\t  <\/div><\/div>\n\t\t  <style>\n\t\t    .fb-background-color {\n\t\t\t\tbackground:  !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t.fb_iframe_widget_fluid_desktop iframe {\n\t\t\t    width: 100% !important;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t  <\/style>\n\t\t  ","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In Israel Emuge, Gor Mahia have signed a vastly experienced , dependable centre back.
