Chicken Inn head coach Joey Antipas says their veteran midfielder Clemence Matawu will not be joining FC Platinum in the near future.

The platinum miners officially showed their interest in the services of the old horse, wanting him on a six months loan deal that will see the Gamecocks receive $500 after every single match that the midfielder would have featured in.

“Matawu will remain with us. He is a great asset that we will not release to any club,” said Antipas.

Matawu (36), is one the six players that FC Platinum included in their provisional squad for the Champions League season that gets underway in November.

Other players being targeted by the Zvishavane side include Dynamos defender Peace Makaha, John Zhuwawu of Caps United, Ngezi Platinum captain Liberty Chakoroma, Triangle striker Lameck Nhamo. Prince Dube was also on the wish-list but retraced to Highlanders.
