Hassan Kajoke has snubbed Silver Strikers Football Club and sign FCB Nyasa Bullets contract extension in a huge boost for Super League Champions.
The Bankers announced in January that they signed striker Hassan Kajoke as a free agent before making U-turn that it was just pre-contract following the complaint to Football Association of Malawi by Nyasa Big Bullets who claimed Kajoke was still contracted to them until March 31, 2023.
Kalisto Pasuwa has been eager to bolster his attacking options in the the current transfer window after the departure of 2022 top scorer Babatunde Adepoju, with Bullets conducting trials to the likes of Chinedu Okafor and Ephraim Kondowe.
However, Bullets have been eager to hang on to the prized assets in the 2023 pre season transfer window.
After securing the loan deal of Chimwemwe Idana from Mbeya FC after rejecting Bullets contract extension, Silver Strikers were allegedly working tirelessly to announce the arrival of Kajoke after the expiry of his contract at Bullets.
However, reports from Nyasa Big Bullets confirmed that Kajoke has extended his stay by signing a three-year deal.
“FCB Nyasa Big Bullets is delighted to announce that Hassan Kajoke has signed a new contract, which will keep him at the club until May 2026” reads part of NBB statement
After signing the contract, Kajoke was quoted saying: “I am delighted to extend my contract for three more years with Bullets. I decided to remain at the club where I came as a reserves player and I have seen my game developing over the years that I have been here and want to keep on improving and developing my game,” he told club media after signing a new deal on Tuesday.
“I won’t talk much but I will go into the field of play and give it all for the club. I am here to work and I will keep on working hard. I enjoy being here.”
The 24-year-old forward graduated from the reserves to the first team towards the end of the 2018 season and has scored over 50 goals for The People’s Team, helping Bullets win four TNM Super League titles, the Airtel Top 8 and the FDH Bank Cup.
In the 2021/22 season, he won the TNM Super League Golden Boot award after scoring 15 goals and inspiring Maule to their 15th league title.
The previous campaign, Kajoke had scored 17 league goals in his first full season with Kalisto Pasuwas’ side and he was the highest scorer in all competitions.
The forward’s good form continued in the 2022 season when he scored 11 goals in 26 appearances across all competitions from which Bullets won both the TNM Super League and the FDH Bank Cup, as we finished as runners-up in the Airtel Top 8.
