David Obua

Born: 10 April 1984

Height: 183cm.

Signed: July 2008

Debut: Aug 23, 2008 v St Mirren

A quick and athletic wing-back, David was recruited in July 2008 from the South African club, Kaizer Chiefs.

The skillful wide-man, who is a Ugandan internationalist, also has good experience, having played in his homeland for Police FC, SC Vila and Express Red Eagles FC.

In addition, David has appeared in Mauritius with AS Port Louis and while at college in the USA, he played for Raleigh and Wilmington Hammerheads.

In 2005, David made the big time with Kaizer Chiefs and after winning the Championship he was voted South African Player of the Year in 2006-07. In February 2010, new manager Jim Jefferies successfully deployed David at centre-forward where his pace and aerial power were big assets. David also comes back to cover in defence and he will provide good options for the manager this season, although his early weeks were blighted by a groin strain.
