One late addition was made to the Grilled squad for the new season, as Swedish midfielder Bert Persson was hired from venerable Swedish Division Four team Trance Fusion for S$52 000. His only other club was hometown Blaikens If, who released him as a trainee.

Bert has had several profitable seasons in the rarefied air of Sweden's top leagues to show in his resume, and Qi Haupai signed him for his experience. "The young lads need more examples they can look up to. Persson will fill in for them too, when the going gets tough."
