Share

Hibernians have gotten another boost up front by holding on to American forward Alexis Espitia. Mgarr United confirmed that Joseph Cauchi will be continuing his work as a goalkeeper’s coach. Meanwhile, Valletta confirmed four players for the U16 squad, and announced their Team Manager.

Hibernians Hold On To Espitia

The American forward, Alexis Espitia, will be extending her stay with Hibernians. She has often proven a handful for defenders with her ability to carry the ball under pressure, while also chipping in with more than a few important goals along the way. Her stay is no doubt welcomed by the Hibernians’ faithful following last season’s showings as the Paolites set sights on building toward further success.

Cauchi to Continue as Goalkeeper Coach at Mgarr United

The Greens have confirmed that Joseph Cauchi will continue his work in the goalkeeping department. It follows the previous coaching announcements which also saw the addition of fitness coach Matthew Muscat, alongside the retentions of head coach Michael Mangion and assistant coach Neville Cassar.

Having confirmed Giulia D’Antuono’s transfer earlier in the transfer window, the Greens currently boast arguably one of the strongest goalkeeping line-ups in Patricia Ebejer and D’Antuono.
