2010 Soccer Star of the Year, Charles Sibanda, is set to join Bulawayo Chiefs following his release by FC Platinum when his contract expired in December.
Chiefs coach Thulani Sibanda on Thursday said the club should be finalising with Charles (34) anytime this week. He said:
This week we will be finalising with him (Charles). The challenge is on whether he will be able to respond well to our training regime. So far we are progressing well not knowing how he will fare in the long run. When we play small teams who play defensively we struggle, but if we play teams that play a high line we do well. We need the experience and I think Charles can be the solution.
Sibanda played for Bulawayo Chiefs in practice matches against Highlanders at Hartsfield Rugby Grounds on Wednesday.
Having started playing in the Premier League with Hwange in 2008, Sibanda moved to Motor Action in 2009. Between 2011-2014, he was at FC Platinum before joining Highlanders in 2014 and later How Mine.
Sibanda had a second stint with FC Platinum where he won two Premiership titles.
