Waiswa: I needed to leave Sweden to restart

SuperSport United midfielder Moses Waiswa has explained his decision to return home after spending three years in Sweden, saying he needed to restart.

The 23-year-old spent three years at Vaxjo United before returning to his native Uganda to sign for Vipers.

Waiswa's decision appeared to be a step backwards after making the initial move to play in Europe, but he insists it was the right call at the time.

"I know it's a dream of any footballer to go to Europe, and many people thought it was a wrong decision for me to come back to Uganda from Sweden," Waiswa told Gugudde TV as quoted by Sports256.

"But I would love to make it clear, we left for Sweden with big dreams and we were big talents then at KJT and Uganda as well. So, I spent three years in Sweden and I reached the second-tier league at Syriaska but I didn’t get a good picture of what I expected.

"So, as a person, I have very big dreams and I rank myself highly. I was going to spend many years in Sweden with little progress, so I decided to come back to Uganda to restart and it really helped me and that’s why I am here today."
