Amagaju FC on Sunday, July 6, announced the signing of Burundian striker Eddy Nibibona from Rukinzo FC on a two-year deal.

Nibibona, 23, finished the 2024/25 season as Burundi’s top tier division top scorer with 20 goals, a performance that earned him a place in the team of the season after helping Rukinzo FC finish third in the league with 52 points.

He had reportedly attracted interest from several Rwandan clubs including Rayon Sports, AS Kigali, Police FC, and Mukura Victory Sports.

Nibibona is among new signings that Amagaju FC announced, days before starting training for the new season. Others include 23-year-old Franck Ntakirutimana who joined the Nyamagabe-based side from Musongati FC, and 21-year-old Assouman Fati from Kayanza United. They each signed a two-year-deal until June 2027.
