Bayo arrives at the Diehards with a wealth of experience gathered across Uganda and abroad, adding proven firepower and international experience to NEC's attack ahead of another competitive Uganda Premier League campaign.
The forward first made his mark with Proline FC during the 2015/16 FUFA Big League season, where he enjoyed a prolific campaign, scoring 16 goals in 25 appearances.
His impressive form earned him a move into the Uganda Premier League, where he continued to find the net. Between 2016 and 2018, Bayo made 32 UPL appearances and scored 12 goals for Proline Fc.
He later joined Vipers SC, registering 12 goals in 23 appearances during the 2019/20 season before beginning his international adventure.

Bayo subsequently featured for FC Ashdod in Israel and went on to play for Bnei Sakhnin, MFK Vyškov in the Czech Republic and Welwalo Adigrat in Ethiopia.
His journey continued in North Macedonia, where he signed for FK Vardar before later joining KF Arsim on loan.
Now back on home soil, the experienced forward joins NEC FC at a time when the club is preparing for another demanding Uganda Premier League season.
With experience across different leagues and at international level with the Uganda Cranes, Bayo brings goals, physical presence and valuable experience to the Diehards' frontline.
He is now a diehard
NEC will be hoping his return to Ugandan football comes with the same goal scoring touch that made him one of the country's exciting forwards during his early years.
