Kaindu retains bulk of squad

HOW Mine head coach, Kelvin Kaindu is keeping the bulk of his players from last year having let go of 2013 Castle Lager Soccer Star of the Year Tawanda Muparati, defender Victor Kamhuka and midfielder Fungai Chirinda.

The trio’s contracts expired on December 31 and have not been renewed and the Zambian gaffer yesterday said he would be bringing in one or two new faces with former Highlanders and South African First National Division outfit Witbank Spurs midfielder Peter “Rio” Moyo already in the gold miners’ books.

“There are some players that had their contracts not renewed and that includes Muparati, Kamhuka and Chirinda and we still have those three slots to fill and we are hoping that by the end of the week, we will be able to release our provisional squad for 2017,” Kaindu said.
