Phiri at Pirates – ‘He is out attending trials’
“I can confirm that he is out attending trials yes,” said Kabika.
“He will be away for the next 10 days.”
“They are still assessing him; nothing has been agreed.”
Phiri caused a stir at the start of this season, when he was reported to not have turned up for pre-season training, as he tried to force a move away from the club. Muza were said to have put a K2 million release clause (about R1.2 million) in Phiri’s contract.
The 23 year-old, who played for Zambia at the 2024 Cosafa Cup in South Africa, did return to training. Phiri scored twice for Muza in last season’s Caf Confederation Cup.
