GOMBE United have beefed up its striking options with the signing of Matibeye Ngarbe Francklin from Foullah Edifice FC of Chad,
Francklin, won the Chadian Premier League title with the N'Djamena based team in 2014/15 season.
He trained with the Savannah Scorpions in Kaduna, and was a delight to watch by Manu Garba and his back room staff as he scored classic goals and his pace was much for the defenders to bear.
An undisclosed source in their Kaduna camp said: "It was amazing for the Chadian as he took him less than three hours to convince Manu that he is set for the Nigeria Premier League.
"His scoring, dribbling abilities and pace was wholesome.
"The coaches had no choice than to remove an undisclosed player's name for the Chadian to be registered for the season.
"His only problem is language as he speaks both Fulani and French, so communication could be little a problem for him, but with time he would adjust and flow better with his other mates."
Meanwhile, the Savannah Scorpions Team Manager, Kwairanga is in Abuja to beat the League Management Company(LMC) date for registration of players for the new season which kicks off on 14th this month.
Gombe United will spend 10 days in Kaduna for a close camping which began on Wednesday and from there hit Kastina for their matchday one game against Nigeria National League (NNL) Super 4 champions, Kastina United.
