by Ayrton Galea - 9th January 2019

Birkirkara FC would like to confirm that goalkeeper Kristijan Naumovski will remain with the club and that he will not be leaving in this January Transfer Market. Naumovski has a contract with the club till the end of this season.

Naumovski joined our Club in the January Transfer Market of last year and the towering goalkeeper established himself as one of the best goalkeepers in the BOV Premier League. He has played thirty-one matches so far and managed to keep twelve clean-sheets.

With reports in the media that the position of Naumovski with the club is in doubt, Club's Technical Director, Mr. Michael Valenzia denied these reports. “I confirm that the player has never asked to leave and the club has never had any intentions of selling him. We look forward to work with him and the rest of the group to achieve our targets.”

On the other hand, Naumovski also confirmed his stay. “Yes, of course I will stay here. I have a contract with Birkirkara FC and I will stay. Birkirkara FC is my home, so for me it comes naturally to feel happy here.”

The Stripes have been one of the most active local clubs in the January Transfer Market with four new signings, while another four have left the club. The investment in the squad in this transfer market will revive Birkirkara's hopes of securing a place in European competitions next season.

The Birkirkara goalkeeper said, “We will go step-by-step for the rest of the season, as we have several new players. For Birkirkara FC, it's normal to be in the top-three of the BOV Premier League so we need to finish there. We want to play again in the cup final, but this time, we win it!”

Naumovski encouraged the supporters for their utmost effort as he concluded this interview. “I'm sure that we have the best supporters on the island. I want them to come and support us in every match like they did till now, because without them, Birkirkara FC is not the same.”
