Mighty Tigers have secured the signing of forward Mwayi Banda on a free transfer following his departure from newly promoted Ekhaya FC.
The experienced striker was released by Ekhaya FC on mutual agreement Thursday, bringing an end to his one-and-a-half season stint with The Cowboys. Banda had been instrumental in helping the club achieve promotion to the TNM Super League last season.

During the current campaign, the forward made six appearances for Ekhaya, contributing his effort and commitment to the squad. However, with increased competition for places in the promoted side’s lineup, both player and club agreed it was in everyone’s best interests to part ways.
Banda has now committed his future to Mighty Tigers, signing a two-year contract with the club who are currently fighting to maintain their TNM Super League status. The signing represents a significant coup for Tigers as they look to bolster their attacking options during a crucial period in their campaign.
“The player was in need of regular game time, and due to the competitive nature of the squad following promotion, they felt this move would benefit all parties,” said from Ekhaya said.
For Mighty Tigers, Banda’s experience at this level could prove vital as they battle relegation. His proven track record of helping teams achieve their objectives, demonstrated during Ekhaya’s successful promotion push, will be welcomed by Tigers supporters as the club looks to secure their top-flight future.
The forward is expected to be available for selection immediately and could make his debut in Tigers’ next fixture as they continue their fight for TNM Super League survival.
