Kepler VC middle blocker John Nkurunziza is on the verge of sealing a return to Gisagara VC ahead of the 2026/27 season.

The move would provide a major boost for the Southern Province side as they seek a replacement for Adam Djibril Doudou, who left the club after his contract expired at the end of last season.

Gisagara are rebuilding after falling short in last season’s league semi-finals and are determined to mount a stronger title challenge in the upcoming campaign.

A source close to the club told Times Sport that negotiations with Nkurunziza are at an advanced stage, with both parties optimistic about reaching an agreement.
