Dikwena signed midfielder Abia Nale, midfielder Gerald Phiri and defender Willem Mwedihanga this week. Nale asked to be released from his contract with Maritzburg United after he failed to commend a regular starting lineup at the Team of Choice.
Dikwena general manager Senzo Mazingiza confirmed the arrival of the players at Platinum Stars before revealing that it was just the tip of the iceberg as far the club’s January transfer window activities are concerned.
“There have been talks between us and the coach in terms of players we want to bring on board. I can confirm that we have signed Nale, who has wealth of experience. He will add value to our attack,” Mazingiza told the club’s website. “Phiri is also an exciting number 10, who can also make meaningful contribution. We are hopeful that Mwedihanga will add the required experience at the back. We won’t leak goals anymore.
“These are the additions that our coach, Cavin Johnson, will be proud of. He has been part of the plans and discussions in terms of who we should have in terms of beefing up our team,” said Mazingiza.
“There’s also one player that we are still chasing. If all goes according to plan, we will make an announcement. Also concerning players who might be leaving, we are talking to them. We want to respect the players,” said Mazingiza.
