Ng Jian Sze's search for a new club finally came to an end, with fourth division newcomers HatT Football Club taking him on a free transfer. The previous few months had been hard on the 18 year-old winger, who estimated that he had personally approached many dozens of clubs.

"But it's all good now." he beamed. "Training starts tomorrow!"

Meanwhile, Hovaness Noubaryan confirmed reports that Grilled had been seriously pursuing Joker 9's U-20 international star Hanis Mohd Fadhli. The fleet-footed forward would ultimately be acquired by Taiwanese Division Three side Kaohsiung FC, however, with RRDG F.C. (Spanish Division Five), former Italian cupwinners Express Road, - Grande Inverno - (H.I. Division Five, Bangladesh) and Second Vision (Romanian Division Four) in contention.

Noubaryan expressed regret at not being able to land the 20 year-old talent, but was convinced that he had done the responsible thing. "S$15 million is a fair chunk of cash, even taking our windfall into account. Hanis has made a good choice nonetheless, and we all look forward to seeing him in national colours."
