The Gor Mahia forward is finalizing a transformative transfer to a top Danish football club.

Uganda international and Gor Mahia forward Rogers Mugisha is close to sealing a transfer to AC Horsens, a Danish second division outfit.

The 20-year-old sensation has been a key figure in the ongoing 2023/2024 Football Kenya Federation Premier League (FKFPL) season, delivering performances that have caught the eye of European scouts.

Mugisha, who has been with Gor Mahia for an impressive first leg of the campaign, is now in the final stages of discussions for a permanent transfer.

"Rogers Mugisha is moving on very soon from us to go and play in Denmark, and we are just finalizing that transfer," said Gor Mahia coach Johnathan McKinstry.

The Irishman emphasized the club's policy of not hindering players' progress while ensuring fair value in such transfers.

The young forward's journey to this pivotal point in his career has been nothing short of remarkable.

A key player in Uganda's U-20 team, Mugisha shone brightly at the 2023 U20 African Cup of Nations in Egypt.

His outstanding performances not only earned him a spot in the tournament's group stage team but also saw him being named the Man of the Match following Uganda's 2-1 victory over the Central African Republic.

Mugisha's consistency and skill were evident throughout the U20 AFCON, where he played in all four games with unwavering dedication.

Although Uganda's run was halted by a narrow 1-0 defeat to Nigeria, Mugisha's individual brilliance left an indelible mark, leading to his call-up to the Uganda Cranes senior side.

His ascent continued with his selection for the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Tanzania in March, where he further cemented his reputation as a formidable force on the field.
