Flames on-and-off attackers Robin Ngalande and Micium Mhone are on the verge of joining newly-promoted TNM Super League side, Masters Security FC, ahead of the new season.<\/p>\n
Ngalande, a free agent, has not played competitive football since August, and is back home to relaunch his career while Mhone terminated his contract with South Africa\u2019s Jomo Cosmos after refusing to be loaned out to an unnamed Swaziland club.<\/p>\n
In an interview on Sunday, Ngalande\u2019s South African Manager, Paul Mitchell, confirmed that his client might switch to the Lilongwe-based side on a short-term deal.<\/p>\n
\u201cYes, maybe short term as we have opportunities from next season and he wanted to study on a short course, \u201cMitchell said.<\/p>\n
The former Atletico Madrid Academy player has refused several offers from giants Nyasa Big Bullets, Be Forward Wanderers and Silver Strikers since returning home.<\/p>\n
But he recently told our sister paper, Malawi News, <\/em>he would play for a local club until August.<\/p>\n \u201cI will play for a local club until August but I do not want a team that will demand a lot from me,\u201d Ngalande said.<\/p>\n Master\u2019s General Secretary, Zacharia Nyirenda, said the deal is almost done.<\/p>\n \u201cWe have already agreed in principle. What is remaining is for him to sign a contract,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n Masters are also interested in signing Mhone. But Nyirenda said Mhone\u2019s deal is far from being concluded.<\/p>\n \u201cMhone is a police officer and it would be difficult for us to sign him without approval from Malawi Police Service,\u201d Nyirenda said.<\/p>\n On his part, Mhone confirmed that Masters had approached him.<\/p>\n \u201cI got a call from one of the officials of the team but I have not yet decided,\u201d Mhone said.<\/p>\n Masters earned promotion into the TNM Super League after finishing as champions in the Chipiku Central Region Football League Premier Division with 96 points.<\/p>\n The team has already signed former Flames shot-stopper Simplex Nthala, Karonga United forward Khumbo Msowoya, Epac striker Chiletso Zoya, Raphael Phiri from Civo United and goalkeeper Bester Phiri.<\/p>\n Masters will be using Dedza Stadium as their home ground in their debut TNM Super League season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Flames on-and-off attackers Robin Ngalande and Micium Mhone are on the verge of joining newly-promoted TNM Super League side, Masters Security FC, ahead of the new season.
