PREMIER Soccer League newboys Sheasham have completed the signing of two former Caps United stars as they seek to assemble a formidable squad to compete in the elite league.
The Construction Boys, as Sheasham are affectionately known, signed Diego Makurumidze and Tichaona Zota Macheka, both former Caps United players, on two-year contracts.
The pair, though, headline a list of 10 new players that coach John Nyikadzino has added to his arsenal, having retained 11 from the squad that won the promotion ticket.
Sheasham also added former FC Platinum and Highlanders goalkeeper Future Sibanda and WhaWha’s roving anchorman Munyaradzi Chirwa.
They also secured the services of Simbarashe Chimanikire, Parkington Mazhawu and Leonard Jani from Golden Eagles, ZPC Kariba and Talen Vision, respectively.
Tafadzwa Marira, Polyester Shoko and Jubani Tuwe complete the list of senior players, with Michael Joseph topping the juniors list.
Club chairman Reginald Chidawanyika confirmed the signings, while also revealing that they were still in the process of filling the remaining gaps.
“We are happy with the progress so far. We believe the players have what it takes to make a mark,” Chidawanyika told NewsDay Sport.

“The squad has an average age of 24 years, and everyone is preparing to do their part. It’s our first season, a learning curve, but we also have the desire to be better.”
Sheasham gained promotion without tasting defeat in the Central Region Soccer League as they fended off stiff competition from TelOne.
As of yesterday, the Construction Boys had regrouped, conducting fitness tests before plunging into pre-season training.
They are also training with Los Angeles Galaxy forward Farai Mutatu, who is in the country.
