Taufiq Exchange
Kalki Parvathaneni's return to the Birds from Tampines Phoenix F.C. would be followed up by 18 year-old fullback Taufiq Al Fatih going the other way on a free, with Taufiq thrilled at getting a shot with the S-League club. "It's been wonderful at the Wings, but if a promotion to the senior squad is not possible, then this is as good as it gets!"
Kalki was, as expected, entirely supportive of the move. "Phoenix have a great setup going, and Taufiq might get to understudy Israel Brown, who's already collected 23 caps for the national team at 24 years old - you seldom see that happening. Heng will also be there, of course, I'm sure he'll be more than happy to offer guidance too."
