The club has very good technically gifted players and competition here is real. Many players are on the National team and this speaks volumes for the kind of quality here.
I can’t wait to get started, repay the club for the faith they have had in me, fight for the badge and earn my spot on the first team.
I want to win trophies with the club, I want to make the fans happy and my family proud.
