Up until signing for Express FC holding midfielder Abel Etrude had vanished from the football scene for up to one and a half years due to a contractual dispute with his former club.

However all that now seems like water that has passed under the bridge following his latest display at Express FC. Etrude who started all the games before the break in the holding position has credited the trust head coach Wasswa Bbosa has shown him as the reason for his good display.

“After a full season without active football all I can say now is that i am back, having played all the four games so far its clear the coach has trusted me which has helped build my confidence and grown gradually in the game so I am grateful that am playing in this competitive environment and hoping to improve more and more to help my team achieve its goals” He stated.

Etrude’s display against S.C Villa was outstanding albeit coming off with a shoulder injury but the soft spoken anchorman states as a team, the improvement has been great and he’s certain they’ll continue their form upon the league resuming in February.

“As for the team, we’re all ambitious, we all feel it’s the time to make a positive mark on this great club, there’s competition in the team, we keep getting better by the day working on things like our endurance and fitness levels so it’s only a matter of time and just like my mates, the target is to win silverware because everyone has done their part at the club” He concluded.

The Red Eagles have managed eight points from a possible 12 in the four games played so far and having started all games played, Abel Etrude will be looking forward to helping his side to the elusive seventh league title which they last won in 2012 when the league resumes in February 2021.
