TNM Super League champions FCB Nyasa Big Bullets have disclosed that they are satisfied with their squad after signing three new players ahead of the 2024 season.
This comes after the club announced the signing of goalkeeper Innocent Nyasulu from Mighty Tigers on a three-year contract.
Apart from Nyasulu, Bullets beefed up their squad with midfielder Lloyd Aaron from Civil Service United and striker Babatunde Adepoju, who returned to the club on loan from South African second-tier side Venda Academy FC.
Bullets Chief Administration Officer Albert Chigoga has ruled out any arrivals ahead of the 2024 season.
“We are almost done with the transfers now and we are good to go,” Chigoga said.

Apart from three new players, Bullets have promoted some players from the club’s reserve side to the senior team after they returned from their loan spells.
According to Chigoga, Yamikani Mologeni and Chikumbutso Salima will be part of the main team next season. The duo spent last season on loan at Bangwe All Stars.
Last season, the team struggled with injuries.
Bullets also extended contracts for Kenyan defender Clyde Senanji, strikers Ephraim Kondowe and Anthony Mfune and midfielder Precious Phiri.

The club also released eight players, namely Righteous Banda, MacFallen Mgwira, Collins Okumu, Chinedu Okaffor, Rahaman John, Eric Kaonga and White Kitsen.
Their rivals Mighty Mukuru Wanderers have only signed midfielder Blessings Singini from Ekwendeni Hammers.
Wanderers Chief Executive Officer Roosevelt Mpinganjira said the club is expected to promote some players from the reserve side.
“Our reserve side performed well last season; so some players will be part of the main team,” he said.
The Nomads are without a coach after the departure of Mark Harrison, who joined Mozambican side UD Songo.
Silver Strikers have signed two players, namely Christopher Gototo and defender Macdonald Lameck from Blue Eagles.
Meanwhile, Nyasulu has said it was a dream come true to join Bullets.
“This is a stepping stone in my career. I want to contribute to the success of the team,” he said.
Nyasulu kept 13 cleans sheets, saved five penalties and won seven player-of-the-match awards last season.
Tigers Chairperson Sydney Chikoti said they did not want to stand in the player’s way.
“We believe he will advance his football career at a big club like Bullets,” Chikoti said.
Bullets swept all the trophies in domestic football. However, they failed to replicate their performance in Caf Champions League, in which they exited in the second preliminary round following a 5-0 loss to Democratic Republic of Congo giants TP Mazembe.
