STAN MATTHEWS COMMENTS
“Dzvukamanja was an unexpected but big signing for us,” Matthews said via iDiski Times.
“A player that Gavin knows and loves really well. A player who had a cracker second half of a season last year.
“To be blunt, we tried to bring Terrence in January and kind of Pirates pushed us off.

“After he did all what he did for them, I really didn’t believe we had a chance to bring him. The way that things transpired with him was kind of a pleasant surprise in a way.
“I was asked if I was prepared to make an offer on Terrence by his agent. I indicated that I would be prepared to make an offer on Terrence and I indicated what the maximum offer I would be able to make was – Pirates moved that offer (laughs), but accepted it, because he is a big player for us,” the SuperSport boss concluded.
