“Joining this wonderful club with such a rich history makes me happy and grateful. It is a pleasure to be here with excellent staff and team-mates. I am excited to be part of this incredible team,” Maker said.

“I have observed a lot of talent in this squad since the first day I trained with them. We have had an excellent pre-season and the team has a lot of promising players. We are prepared to contend for the league this season.

“I cannot wait to see every AFC Leopards fan in the stadium on Sunday, everyone. I want to enjoy this season with you because you are the best fans in the nation.”
