Nyembe Okechi Alon Vows to Give His Best After Joining Zanaco FC

Zanaco Football Club’s latest signing, 19-year-old defender Nyembe Okechi Alon, says he is eager to make his mark in the Zambian Super League after completing a one-year move from Tanzanian giants Simba SC.

Speaking after putting pen to paper, the young defender expressed excitement about the new chapter in his career. “I am very happy to join Zanaco FC. This is a great step in my career, and I am ready to give my best for the team and the fans,” Alon said. “I know the Zambian league is very competitive, but I am here to learn, improve, and contribute to the club’s success.”

The move marks Alon’s first stint outside Tanzania, and his arrival is expected to bolster Zanaco’s defense as the Lusaka-based club seeks to improve its league standing this season.

Acting Chief Executive Officer Poster Kaluba praised the signing, describing Alon as a promising addition to the squad. “We are excited to have Nyembe Okechi Alon at Zanaco FC. He is a young defender with a lot of potential, and we believe he will strengthen our squad,” Kaluba said. “His arrival also reflects our vision of combining experienced players with talented youngsters who can grow with the team.”

Zanaco, who have been rebuilding under a mix of youth and experience, hope Alon’s energy and determination will inject fresh momentum into their campaign.

He’s expected to make his debute this Sunday when the Bankers host Nkwazi.
