Career

Club

In January 2017, it was announced that Mukwala would be joining a top flight club in Uganda, Vipers SC in what was reported to be an initial great deal, taking him from Masaza football to champions of Ugandan football Vipers.[7]

In 2018, Mukwala was called up for the Uganda U23 National Team to play against Ghana and Cameroon where he scored one goal and was also part of the Uganda Squad that took part in the COSAFA Championships in Lesotho and he managed to help Uganda finish 3rd behind Egypt having scored 3 goals.[8]

In February 2017, Mukwala was part of the Vipers Squad that won the Azam Uganda Premier League and was much in the plans of Miguel Da Costa the coach of the Vipers. By then, he had built his coach's trust in him after scoring crucial goals for the team in the quest for the title of 2017.[9]

In 2019, Mukwala was loaned at Maroons FC for the new season 2019-2020, where he has scored 13 goals and became one of the league's top scorers with five games to go in the Uganda Premier League. His speed and powerful finishing caught the eye of many other clubs, but he gave first priority to his mother Club Vipers SC.[10]
