BLANTYRE. — Nomadic midfielder Ronald “Rooney” Chitiyo has secured a three-year contract at Malawian champions, Nyasa Big Bullets following a month-long trial stint in the neighbouring country.
Chitiyo will work under record-breaking former Dynamos coach, Kalisto Pasuwa.
He was offloaded by Shamva-based Premiership side, Simba Bhora during the off-season and has a career that took him to Monomotapa, Dynamos, and CAPS United among the Zimbabwe Premiership teams in over a decade. Chitiyo is Nyasa Big Bullets’ seventh signing of the summer transfer window. The 31-year-old attacking midfielder expressed his excitement to have joined Bullets. Through the club’s media, he said was delighted to have signed a long-term contract with Malawi’s biggest and winning team.
“I am very happy to join one of the biggest teams in Malawi. With my experience, I want to lead these youngsters because I saw that Big Bullets have got many youngsters so with my experience, I will try by all means to help them. Malawian football is now more competitive than before and the intensity here is high and I am very happy to join this league.
“It’s a challenge to me because Bullets have been winning before and for me to be part of them it means they should keep on winning. To be playing football outside your country is like an achievement because it’s not easy for people to accept you when you are coming from another country, but here, I am very happy and the reception was top-notch,” he told club media. Chitiyo is the third Zimbabwean player to play for Bullets under Pasuwa after the club signed Kenneth Pasuwa and Colin Mujuru.
He is the Bullets’ seventh signing in the ongoing local transfer window having signed Babatunde Adepoju, Mathews Masamba, Colin Mujuru, Sean McBrams, Innocent Nyasulu, and Lloyd Aaron.
