Germany based Malawi's striker Dan Chitsulo who was playing for second Bundesliga side VFL Osnabruck has signed for a third Bundesliga side Rot Weiss Ahlen with an aim of playing regularly.
After helping his second division side earn promotion last season, the former striker of Malawi's Civo United made a painful decision to move to the third division side.
"Since we were promoted, I was not playing so often because the club had signed alot of players. I wanted to play football and be a happy man because football is my life. That is why I decided to move," Chitsulo told Malawi's local daily of The Daily Times in a telephone interview from North Rhine-Westphalia on Wednesday.
The pint-sized striker, who joined the club in January has so far played five games and scored two goals.
The diminutive striker who has not played for Malawi national team aka the flames since 2005 said that he wanted to know as to what 'sin' he committed to be ignored by the flames current coach Stephen Costantine.
"Maybe people there know why I can't be allowed to play for my country. What wrong have I done to Costantine?" queried Chitsulo who last played for Flames in June 2005 in which the national team lost 1-3 to Botswana.
The player insisted that although he was back to the third division club, the league was still competitive.
His new team, based in Ahlen, is currently on fifth position but they are two points behind the league leaders.
Malawi's Football Association of Malawi(Fam) Chief Executive Charles Nyirenda said all foreign based players were eligible for selection adding that he was yet to find out as to why the former FC Cologne striker was not being considered for national team assignments.
