Rwanda Premier League champions, Armee Patriotique Rwandaise (APR FC) have signed former Gor Mahia striker Jacques Tuyisenge on a two-year deal.

The former K'Ogalo forward has been a free agent since leaving Angola side Petro de Atletico last month. He spent only one-year at the club and left last month on mutual consent.

"APR FC have officially signed Amavubi striker Jacques Tuyisenge, after his exit from Angola's Petro Atletico where he played for one year," the club confirmed on its website.

"The 29-year-old Jacques Tuyisenge has performed well for local teams in Rwanda, at Etincelles FC, Kiyovu Sports, Police FC, and outside Rwanda at Gor Mahia FC and Angola's Petro Atletico de Luanda," it added.

During his three-year stint with K'Ogalo, Tuyisenge nicknamed 'Ja Usenge' by the Green Army, helped the club bag three Kenyan Premier League titles among other domestic accolades.

The Rwandan international, who is also the national team assistant captain, left Gor last year after scoring 50 goals during his stay at the record Kenyan Premier League champions camp.
