In a telephone interview Gumbo refused to comment on the duration of the contract of the two players, saying that it was confidential though he hinted that the transfer of the players were done on club to club level.
The two players are not playing this weekend (Saturday) when we play against Chipembere, maybe they will start appearing in our colours in our next assignment. I cannot comment on the duration of their contract but what i can say to you is that the agreement was done at club level, added the coach.
Gumbo also revealed that they have plans to rope in players from Malawi and Nigeria.
Auckland Queens are current sitting on the summit of the log table with nine points in four matches and are yet to taste defeat.
