The former Kiyindi Boys, Butega Red Stars, Ssingo and Gomba Ssaza player marked his debut season in the2020-21 Uganda Premier League at Wakiso Giants.

Kaddu is best known for his equal defensive and offensive attributes at left back with the special expertise of dead ball execution over all distances, crossing of the ball and customary long throw-ins.

He will face stiff direct competition from the tried and tested left backs as AFCON U-20 silver medalist Abdul Aziizi Kayondo of Vipers Sports Club as well as SC Villa’s Derrick Ndahiiro.

“I have always worked for this opportunity and I thank God. I will remain focused and work hard in each and every training session” Kaddu notes.

He is among the 40 players summoned to train with the team preparing for the 2021 CECAFA tournament that will be played majorly by the U-23 players and at least three over-aged players.

Other new faces on any national team include KCCA goalkeeper Hassan Matovu Muyomba, Mbarara City skipper Hillary Mukundane, Derrick Kiggundu (Soltilo Bright Stars), Nicholas Kabonge (SC Villa), Peter Magambo (KCCA), Abdallah Salim (SC Villa), Hakim Kiwanuka (Proline) and Wakiso Giants’ towering forward Frank Ssebufu.

The five over-aged players above 23 years are Chippa United goalkeeper Ismail Watenga, Charles Lukwago (KCCA), Murushid Juuko (Express), Saidi Kyeyune (unattached) and Yunus Ssentamu (Vipers).
