The shot stopper on Sunday travelled to the Europe and immediately put pen to paper, winning herself a place between the posts of Football Club Kotkan Työväen Palloilijat (FC KTP) on a two-year deal.

Before joining UCU Lady Cardinals, Aturo had featured for Kawempe Muslim Ladies FC where she won three successive FUFA Women Elite League titles.
She becomes the latest Ugandan female footballer to earn a professional stint in Europe, joining Fauzia Najjemba who recently moved to BIIK Shymkent in Kazakhstan.
Others include; Juliet Nalukenge who plies her trade at Chrysomolia FC on loan from Apollon Ladies FC in Cyprus, and goalkeeper Vanessa Karungi at B93 in Denmark.
