As the 2024 mid-year transfer window nears its close, Rwandan clubs are continuing to be active on the market, both buying and selling players.

With less than three weeks remaining, a lot of business has already happened, yet more is expected.

A number of top players have joined various Rwandan clubs, ranging from Richmond Lamptey, a Ghanaian midfielder who signed for APR from Asante Kotoko, to Abdul Jalilu, a central defender who joined Mukura VS from Ghana’s Dreams FC.

On the other hand, a number of players have left the league for opportunities abroad. In this article, Times Sport highlights five notable players who have left including Sharaf Eldin Shaiboub who left APR for Libya’s Al Hilal Benghazi, and Christian Ishimwe who departed Police FC for Morocco’s Zermama.
