Maltese Premier League club Marsaxlokk FC have signed 28-year-old goalkeeper Reuben Debono from Birkirkara FC.
Cini injury
The south seasiders, sixth in the table, moved quickly to capture the signature of Debono, who could not hold a regular first team place berth with Birkirkara this season. However, first-choice Marsaxlokk goalkeeper Reggie Cini, has been hampered by a niggling back injury.
Top six aim
Debono said: "My immediate ambition is that of helping Marsaxlokk finish in the top six of the Premier League, and thus qualify for the final 'championship phase'." He is expected to make his debut on Sunday, when Marsaxlokk take on lowly Mosta FC.
