“We signed these players with the sole aim of beefing up the team in positions we realized we had challenges at a point in time.
“So it is a very strategic signings.
“Doing strategic signings does not mean the players can just come and walk into the team.
“It means that they have to come and work hard as well.
“As much as it is a strategic signing, you don’t just walk into a team.
“You still have to fight for your position and make sure that you make a name for yourself as well.
“Yes the signings are very strategic but they don’t just walk into the team.
“It will be based on their performance as well.” Coach Ernest Thompson said.
