Rayon Sports captain Ally Serumogo has left the club after agreeing to join South Sudanese side El-Merrikh Bentiu on a two-year contract. The Rwandan defender departed Kigali International Airport for Juba in the early hours of Sunday, January 18, at 3:00 am aboard Kenya Airways, where he is expected to complete the move. Serumogo’s final appearance for Rayon Sports came in difficult circumstances, as the Blues suffered a heavy 4–0 defeat to Al Hilal on Saturday, January 17, in a Rwandan Premier League match played at Amahoro Stadium. He was substituted in the 64th minute by Emmanuel “Kabange” Nshimiyimana. After 2½ years with the club, we bid farewell to Ally SERUMOGO. We thank him for his commitment and wish him every success in the journey ahead.

He departs with Rayon Sports currently sitting ninth on the provisional Rwandan Premier League table with 24 points. The club, however, has two games in hand against Mukura VS and Al Merrikh.
