MORE NEW PLAYERS INTERESTED IN SIGNING FOR SANTOS FC

Five (5) new players have confirmed to the President their interest in joining and registering with Santos FC for the 2007 Division 1 HFA DJ League. The players are: - Mike Tahi (Marist FC - Super League), Robinson Wakio (Las United - relegated to Division 1), Sanga (Island Brothers FC - Division 1), James (Kukum Bombers FC- Division 2) and Dave Hiba Riuta’a (LS Kuma FC - Division 1)

In fact four (4) of the said players namely Mike, Robinson, Sanga and James have already played for Santos FC during the recent 7 aside soccer knockout competition organized by the Kukum Bombers FC at the Kukum Market playing ground on Sunday 1st July 2007. The team’s performance was fantastic but unfortunately the boys had to vow out in a penalty shoot out in the quarterfinal against the might of Beach Boys 1 which fielded most Super League players.

The Santos FC Management welcomes the said 5 intending new signings as they will add the much needed strength and experience in all key positions in the current squad. Their playing positions are as follows: Mike Tahi (Defender), Robinson Wakio (Midfielder), Dave Hiba Riuta’a (Midfielder) Sanga (Striker) and James (Goal Keeper). In the meantime, the Santos FC Management will be moving to finalize the players’ transfer conditions and requirements in respect of the concerned players with the HFA and the concerned clubs before the start of the 2007 league season.

The major and historic signing for Santos FC would be in respect of Mr. Mike Tahi who has played in the top Super League Division for Marist FC in last year’s HFA DJ league season. To have him in Division 1 with Santos FC would be a huge bonus for the club and a motivating or morale booster for other players.
