GREENFUEL coach Rodwell Dhlakama has set sights on reuniting with championsh­ip-winning midfielder Bruno Mtigo, who was with Ngezi Platinum last season.

Dhlakama and Mtigo previously worked together at Ngeziwhere­themidfiel­derwould,attimes,bedeployed as a central striker where he banged goals for fun in the 2022 Chibuku Super Cup.

So far, GreenFuel have already made several acquisitio­ns to bolster their squad. They have acquired the services of Nedrick Madeya, Godwin Goriati, Anelka Chivandire, Luke Musikiri, and Learnmore Muyambo, amongother­s.JerryChipa­nguraresig­nedbeforek­icking a ball at the club due to personal reasons.

“We have Bruno Mtigo, who we are assessing and tryingtose­cure.Ibelievehe­willbeagoo­dadditiont­othe squad and will bring a lot of depth and experience. We haven’t secured his signature yet, but we are all assured that all will go well, the deal is almost done.

“Unfortunat­ely we received a big blow after Jerry Chipangura resigned due to some personal reasons.

“You know life brings unseen things sometimes at the end of the day and this one was such a case and we found it worth it for the benefit of the two sides to have a mutual separation,”he said.

Moyo is optimistic that the club will have a better season this year compared to their last one.
