Malata signs for Wanderers from Silver: ‘It’s a dream come true’
Mighty Be Forward Wanderers on Monday signed Silver Strikers defender and skipper Lucky Malata for undisclosed fee.
Malata left Silver as a free agent.
The player was released after the Bankers failed to meet Malata’s demand of K5 million signing on fee when renewing his contract.
Silver general secretary Thabo Chakaka-Nyirenda said they had given the player consent to join Wanderers.
“He verbally told us that Wanderers have offered him K6 million signing on fee,” he said.
Malata who was unveiled at Kamuzu Stadium in Blantyre after putting pen to paper earlier at Lali Lubani Road, the Wanderers Club House said he was “so happy” to have signed for one of the biggest clubs in Malawi.
“It’s a dream come true for me,” he said, accompanied by his a girl friend.
Malata said the opportunity to work with tactician Yasin Osman and play with some of the best players in the country was simply “too good to turn down.”
Wanderers general secretary Mike Butao described Malata as a “fantastic” signing.
“We are pleased to announce that Wanderers has signed Lucky Malata for three years. We are happy and impressed with his services,” Butao.
Wanderers Team Manager Steven Madeira described Malata as one of the skilful players.
“He is a good player and looking forward to work with him. His defending is perfect and he is also a hard worker,” said Madeira.
Wanderers are expected to sign more players, the club officials hinted.
