Ugandan midfielder Okwii Reagan catches PSL eye during South Africa exhibition tour

Ugandan teenager Okwii Reagan is attracting growing interest from South African clubs after a series of impressive displays for the Supreme Stars Project.

The midfielder is part of the Supreme Stars squad competing in a programme of exhibition matches against professional football structures in Mzansi. The fixtures have given the teenager the chance to test himself against older and more experienced opponents.

Several clubs are understood to have been monitoring Reagan’s performances closely as the programme continues. His displays have strengthened his reputation after he was named Most Valuable Player at last year’s Uganda Exhibition tournament.

Those who have watched the youngster describe him as an unusual prospect for his age. Reagan has combined physical strength with composure in possession and an ability to contribute at both ends of the pitch.

Reagan compared with Patrick Vieira

His style has prompted comparisons with former France and Arsenal midfielder Patrick Vieira.

Reagan has impressed with his powerful approach, progressive passing and ability to carry his side forward from midfield. He has also shown that he can break defensive lines with his distribution, compete physically and help control the tempo of matches.

Those qualities have made him one of the leading performers in the Supreme Stars Project and helped generate interest from clubs in the PSL.

South African clubs continue to monitor promising young players from across the continent, and Reagan is increasingly being viewed as a player worth following.

The exhibition programme offers the Ugandan another opportunity to build his profile. Every match against professional opposition provides him with a further chance to demonstrate his ability and move closer to the next stage of his development.
