Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>Chipolopolo goalkeeper Mwenya Chibwe is looking forward to his debut FAZ Super League experience after joining Zesco United on a two-year deal. The 29-year-old South African-born goalkeeper is set for his domestic debut three years after his naturalisation as a Chipolopolo player following his decision to play for his father\u2019s country of birth.<\/p>\n

Chibwe has been clubless since January when he was released by demoted South Africa PSL club Baroka FC. \u201cTo be honest I have been in South Africa all my life and coming to Zambia wasn\u2019t even a hustle for me because it\u2019s something personal and special,\u201d Chibwe told Zesco Media.<\/p>\n

\u201cObviously, I had offers in South Africa, but I had to sit down with my manager and weigh the options in terms of where I was to benefit as a player.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is great for me and I have heard great things about this club. I am humbled and looking forward to making my own memories here. I am happy to be here.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chibwe is by far the biggest pre-season transfer coups in a week choked with new arrival announcements by last season\u2019s runners-up and the defending league champions Red Arrows. He joins a quality goalkeeper roster at Zesco that is already filled by Chipolopolo understudy Gregory Sanjase and Kenyan international Ian Otieno.<\/p>\n
