FCB Nyasa Big Bullets have reached an agreement with midfielder Chawanangwa Gumbo to extend his contract, Wa Mpira can exclusively reveal.
Gumbo, who joined the club in 2022 from Mzuzu City Hammers, has been a standout player for the team, often playing in a deep-lying midfield role. However, he has been absent from Bullets’ last three matches.
While the club has denied the claims, sources tell Wa Mpira that Gumbo has been in his hometown of Mzuzu since his last match on July 22, a cup tie against Silver Strikers. His absence was reportedly due to a contractual dispute between the player and the club.
