Malawi National Football Team attacker Frank Gabadinho Mhango has underscored his desire to help the Flames flourish.
The South Africa-based forward made the remarks after scoring his first goal for Richards Bay in the Betway Premiership on Tuesday.
Mhango put up a brilliant performance and scored the lone goal to inspire Richards to a 1-0 win over Chippa United at the Princess Magogo Stadium in South Africa.
He was con s equent ly named player of the match.
The former Orlando Pirates player said it was a must for him to prove a point that he was still in scoring form after he was named to start the match.

“It feels good to score at your new club because it gives confidence to the coaches to trust you.
The goal has come at the right time as I have been called for national duties by the Flames coach. I will give it my best so that I can also help my country to win the remaining matches,” Mhango said.
According to statistics, at the Princess Magogo Stadium, Mhango had the joint most shots as he had four shots on goal, most touches in the opposition box (five), most successful dribbles (two) and second most duels won in the game (20).
The former FCB Nyasa Big Bullets forward was withdrawn on 82nd minute after picking a yellow card in the 74th minute and was the fourth highly rated overall player in the match.
