KCCA FC midfielder Brain Jjara is a transfer target for two Norwegian sides Molde and Rosenborg RBK, Swift Sports Uganda understands.
The KCCA FC defensive midfielder was the engine of the Uganda Cubs at their historic U-17 World Cup campaign that was held in Qatar last year. He featured in all the games for the Cubs as they reached the round of 16 stage.
During the 2025 U-17 global tournament, the box-to-box midfielder caught the eye of scouts from both clubs and are both battling for his signature this transfer window.
