"These transfers excite us as a club, having ensured that we stay true to our goals and objectives. We're happy the boys have taken the next steps after excelling in the fundamental values passed to them. We are glad to have achieved this little piece of history with a great club like FK Sarajevo," said Simon Alfred.

APPRECIATION

"We would like to thank FK Sarajevo for the trust and patience they displayed with us in the course of finalising these transfers. We are looking forward to a greater partnership with them and we wish them all the best in their objectives.
