APR have also unveiled the signing of Rwandan international Danny Ndikumana on a two-year contract after parted ways with Burundian outfit Rukinzo FC.
The forward, whose contract with the Burundian side recently expired, has yet to make an appearance for Amavubi despite being summoned by national team head coach Carlos Ferrer when they faced Mozambique, who shocked Amavubi 2-0.

The military side have failed to advance beyond the group stages of CAF club competitions on multiple occasions, despite winning the local league four times in a row.
As they look to rebuild a strong squad to achieve their objectives in the forthcoming 2023/24 campaign, APR are reportedly finalizing talks with additional international players such as Nigerian forward Victor Mbaoma, who plays for Uzbek side Qizilqum Zarafshon and Super Eagles.
The army club have also agreed terms with Congolese international goalie Pavelh Ndzila, who has been goalkeeping for Etoile du Congo since 2013.
