Promoted MTG United set to sign new recruits ahead of KWPL season

Newly promoted Kenya Women Premier League (KWPL) side MTG United are set to sign five players ahead of a return to the top tier return after 12 years of wait.

Speaking to Citizen Digital, head coach Fathime Hamisi said the team returns to training Wednesday after a short break to prepare for the upcoming season as well as assess the five players they intend to sign.

"We have identified five players from within coastal region who will join us today for training before we sign them," said Fathime.

According to Fathimi the aim is to fight and retain their slot in the top tier.

"As a team we want to go there (the league) and prove that we are also title challengers and not only participators."

The Kilifi-based side sealed promotion back to the top-flight league after a 2-1 win over Gideon Starlets FC in a play-off match.

They will depend a lot on their goal poacher Nelly Kache who was the Division One top scorer last season after finding the back of the net 26 times in 22 matches.
