Interview with Frank Temile

by Ayrton Galea - 21st November 2013

For this week's interview, we decided to continue introducing this Summer Transfer Market's signings, and we chose the Nigerian striker, Frank Temile.

Having played with Valletta FC in season 2007-2008, Frank had a spell playing abroad. This summer, the Nigerian forward returned to Malta, and was involved in a saga in the Transfer Market, as Valletta tried to capture his signature, but he chose Birkirkara FC as his team.

Frank started his season in an excellent way with two encouraging performances in the UEFA Champions League, and by scoring one of the three goals in the 3-2 victory over Hibernians to lift his first honour with our Club.
