Bloemfontein Celtic believe they found their missing link when they signed Malawi playmaker Fischer Gondwe joined from relegated Black Leopards yesterday.
Phunya Sele Sele spokesman Petros Augousti confirmed that the Malawi international midfielder would join left back Ditheko Mototo as the two newcomers to Celtic for the new season.
Said Augousti: “We are excited about signing Gondwe. He is a top class player and we are going to be looking to him to do the business in the midfield during the coming season. He is a top notch player and we are delighted he decided to join us.”
Gondwe was one of Leopards outstanding players. He is 25 and coming into his prime and should blossom under new Celtic coach Mich D’Avray.
He is an ideal replacement for Lebogang Mothibantwa who joined Orlando Pirates earlier this month. His signing will also help alleviate the loss of another midfielder Ntokozo Sikhakhane who was placed on transfer by the club.
Gondwe is set to make his Celtic debut in a one day tournament being played at Kimberley’s Absa Park on Sunday. Celtic play Ajax Cape Town at noon and the winner will meet either Premier Soccer League champions SuperSport United or Free State Stars who meet in the other semifinal.
The final kicks off at 4pm.
Augousti said that the club were delighted with the progress made by new D’Avray who they captured from leading Australian outfit Perth Glory.
He added; “We are looking to sign a few more quality players before the start of the new season next month.”
