Club career

[edit]

Early career

[edit]

Mugabi started his career with Fulham before joining Southampton's youth system in July 2011, and signed a new two-and-a-half-year contract with the club in February 2015.[6]

Yeovil Town

[edit]

He signed for League Two club Yeovil Town on 5 August 2016 on a one-year contract.[7] He made his first-team debut on 9 August 2016, as a 54th-minute substitute in an EFL Cup match against Walsall.[8] Mugabi scored his first goal for Yeovil in an EFL Trophy tie against Portsmouth on 30 August 2016.[9] He signed a new two-year contract with the club in May 2017.[10]

At the end of the 2018–19 season, Mugabi was released by Yeovil following the club's relegation from League Two.[11]

Motherwell

[edit]

On 12 September 2019, Mugabi signed for Motherwell on a contract until January 2020.[5][12] After Motherwell teammate Charles Dunne was injured, Mugabi was set to make his debut sooner than expected.[13] On 22 November 2019, Motherwell announced that they had extended their contract with Mugabi until the summer of 2021.[14]

On 18 February 2022, Mugabi signed a new contract with Motherwell, until the summer of 2024.[15] Mugabi was released at the end of the 2023–24 season, having made 125 appearances for the club.[16][17]

Anorthosis Famagusta

[edit]

On 29 July 2024, Mugabi signed a one-year contract with Cypriot First Division team Anorthosis Famagusta.[18]

International career

[edit]

Mugabi was eligible to represent England or Uganda at international level.[19]

In August 2016, Mugabi received his first call up to the Uganda national team for their friendly against Kenya and their 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualification match against Comoros,[20] but Mugabi was withdrawn from the squad by Yeovil Town with the club citing the short notice of the call-up as the reason for his withdrawal.[21] In March 2018, Mugabi received a second call up to the Uganda national team for two international friendlies.[22] Mugabi made his international debut for Uganda on 24 March 2018 in their 3–1 friendly victory over São Tomé and Príncipe.[23] Mugabi returned to the national team after a year long absence when he was included in Uganda's squad for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations.[24]
