Silver Strikers FC and Township Rollers of Botswana have failed to agree on the transfer of its striker Stenie Davie to the southern african nation.
The Striker was in Botswana for assessment and played in one of that club’s friendly matches in which he scored a goal. The banker’s player instantly became a fan favorite after the preseason game and successfully passed the technical assessment.
“We have decided that we would like to sign him, but due to our current financial constraints, we hereby request for you to loan him to us for free, for a period of 6 months during which time we hope he will get fit and set the local league alight. Within that period, we intend to aggressively market him, particularly to Clubs in the PSL in South Africa, where we have our former Coach, who needs a striker of Davie’s profile,” reads part of the letter from Bennett Mamelodi, Chief Executive Officer of Township Rollers FC.
The team further promised to share the Transfer Amount, 50/50 with the bankers.
Silver Strikers Chief Executive Officer, Thoko Chimbali said the club declined Township Rollers offer because the team wanted to act as a conduit for Davie’s to clinch a deal with a South African Club.
“The club is of the view that the player does not need a foreign team to find a club in South Africa as we have been able to sell players to clubs in South Africa before, thus, we do not need an intermediary to facilitate such moves. In addition we have pending inquiries on the player from other clubs,” said Chimbali.
Township Rollers spotted Stain Davie at the COSAFA tournament and generated interest in him.
