WIRE โ€” Masters FC are interested in signing midfielder Mike Mkwate following the termination of his contract with FCB Nyasa Big Bullets. Bullets and Mkwate have mutually agreed to terminate the contract which was originally due to expire on September 24. The midfielder, who leaves the People's Team after eight years, said several clubs have expressed interest in signing him with Masters currently leading the race. "Several clubs have shown interest in signing me, but it seems Masters are the most interested at the moment," Mkwate said. He first joined Bullets in 2016 from Wizards FC and spent five seasons at the club before moving to South Africa National First Division side Polokwane City, returning to Bullets after one season. "I was informed that I was no longer part of coach Wedson Nyirenda's plans, and a decision was made not to renew my contract. But I enjoyed my time at Bullets," Mkwate said, adding that he appreciates that good things come to an end. "I achieved a lot with the club, but my time there is now up. But life must go on," he said. Bullets Chief Executive Officer Albert Chigoga said the decision was made to allow the player to secure a new club before the mid-season transfer window opens on August 1. "The club and Mike have parted ways by mutual agreement, allowing him to seek a new club before the mid-season transfer window opens on August 1. Although his contract runs until September 2026, the club will continue to honour it by paying him in recognition of his services," Chigoga said. Masters Chief Executive Officer Kelvin Moyo confirmed the club's interest, saying both coach Peter Mponda and club president Alfred Gangata admire the midfielder. "We wanted to sign him at the start of the season, but he remained at Bullets. Now we will wait for the coach's recommendation, and if the coach still wants him, we will begin discussions," Moyo said. During his time at Bullets, Mkwate won several major trophies, including the historic quadruple in 2023 under former coach Kalisto Pasuwa.
