Moyo twin lands at Chicken Inn

Fungai Muderere
FORMER FC Platinum and Bantu Rovers star defender Elvis Moyo is training with Chicken Inn amid revelations that the former league champions are looking forward to signing him when the transfer window opens in July.

Elvis is twin brother to Kevin Moyo who now turns out for Zambia’s Nkana FC.

“Elvis is training with us and he is one kind of a player that every coach would like to have in his team. It’s unfortunate he came to us after the players registration deadline. However, we are looking forward to officially engaging him when the next transfer window opens,” said Chicken Inn head coach Joey Antipas.

Late last year, a major shakeup at South Africa’s Chippa United kicked out the Moyo twins.

The Moyo brothers joined Chippa in July 2019 from FC Platinum on recruitment by former coach Norman Mapeza. Kevin featured in 27 league fixtures for Chippa this past season, while Elvis played only nine matches.

Speaking about the Chibuku Super Cup tie against Highlanders set for Sunday at Barbourfields Stadium, Antipas, who is Zimbabwe’s reigning Coach of The Year said: “It’s early days yet but it’s a big match for us. Highlanders are coming from a big win against a bogey side Bulawayo Chiefs. It’s going to be an intriguing match. All I can say is may the best team of the day win.”

Gamecocks are set to miss the services of the injured duo of Marlvin Gaki and pacey forward Obriel Chirinda who respectively picked hamstring and groin injuries.

Bosso’s technical manager Mandla “Lulu” Mpofu conceded that they were going to have a tough match against the star-studded Gamecocks.

“It’s a big game and we know our opponents’ intention of taking trophies. They have the resources and they have the best players in the country but we are ready for the match. Our win against Bulawayo Chiefs should motivate us,” said Mpofu.
