Kizito Keziron is a Ugandan footballer who plays for ZESCO United in the Zambia Super League[2] and Uganda national team (the "Cranes") as a midfielder.[3] In 2015, Keziron was among the nominees for male player of the year for the FUFA Airtel Player's Award.

He could not play the entire season as he picked an injury midway through the 2017–18 season. He continued his stint with the Blasters in 2018-19 season also.[9]
In September 2019 he joined KCCA FC and signed a 2-year contract.[10] On 2 October 2019, he made his debut for KCCA FC against Tooro FC.[11]
