Maova desperate for SA move

Maova desperate for SA move Keeper hopes for better future Edward Maova hopes that South African football clubs will set their sights on signing him next year. Former Civics goalkeeper Edward Maova has expressed his desperation to make a move to neighbouring South Africa in search of greener pastures.

The shot-stopper says he is concerned that his dreams of playing at the highest level might die out if he does not travel to South Africa to look for a club early next year.

He says he has asked several of the Namibian players plying their trade in South Africa to get him a team.

Maova revealed that he has been in talks with former Brave Warriors skipper Henrico Botes.

“All I need now is videos of me from NBC which I can take along to South Africa next year.

“The thing is that the future of Namibian football has been uncertain for some time now and I believe it is time to take desperate measures by following my dreams.

“Clubs in SA have been reluctant to come to us because we have not been active for almost a year,” Maova said.

The keeper also revealed that his biggest wish has been to play in Europe and therefore feels that South Africa will be the right gateway to continent.

“The problem with Namibia is that there are very few people with connections to South African football clubs and that is why it has been so difficult for me to make that dream move,” he noted.

The player has been part of the senior national team setup including the junior teams. He has however often missed games for the senior team due to injuries.

The 22-year old started his career at the Otjiwarongo Football Academy in 2007 before joining Eleven Brothers and later Rundu Chiefs.

Maova than joined Civics in the 2014/15 season were he has been playing until the league came to a standstill.
