Brian Umony (born 12 December 1988 in Jinja) is a Ugandan footballer who plays for Kampala City Council FC. Since 2009, he has also been a regular member of the Uganda national football team.
Born 12 December 1988 in Jinja to Francis Kermit and Loise Uwanchango (both parents from Nebbi District, Westnile Region), Umony is the last born of four siblings. After the death of his mother in 1997, he moved to Kampala to live with his maternal uncle. He started playing football at a young age but struggled to get onto the school teams as he was constantly overlooked due to his small stature.
Umony signed for Kampala City Council FC in 2007 after failing to achieve promotion with First Division side Naguru Avis. Coming on as a second-half substitute, he scored the winning goal on his league debut for KCC against Iganga TC. In just his first season in the top-flight, Umony finished the league as joint top scorer with 15 goals to help KCC FC claim their first league title in 11 years. He also received the Footballer of the Year award for his goalscoring antics.
Personally, his second season with KCC was even more successful as he managed to score 19 goals in the USL, three behind Police FC's Peter Ssenyonjo who won the league's goalscoring crown. Umony was also instrumental for his club in reaching the second round of the 2009 CAF Champions League scoring a total of four goals in the process including strikes that helped eliminate fancier opponents like Ferroviário Maputo and Supersport United. He also had a 16-match goal scoring run for club and country.
After undergoing a week-long trial, Umony signed a two-year deal with South African Premier Soccer League club Supersport United in late June 2009. On 8 July 2010, he was released by SuperSport United.
