Floriana to sign Akanni-Sunday Wasiu

Premier Division side Floriana F.C. is reported to have signed once again Nigerian striker Akanni-Sunday Wasiu, who is back in Malta from a spell in China and whose contract is expected to be announced on Friday tomorrow by the embattled club's new president.

Justin Attard, a boxing promoter for Attard & Harding who recently took the helm at Floriana, will also announce the arrival of defender Carl Tremarco from Conference league side Macclesfield Town F.C, on a six-month loan.

The two signings are the first coup for Floriana's new sponsor, Vaughanboxing.tv, which Attard secured thanks to his partnership with former Barrow FC and Chester City chairman Stephen Vaughan. Floriana's new coach is former Liverpool and England defender Mark Wright, formerly manager at Chester.

Wasiu, 28, was a hit with the Greens back in 2009 after he was brought in Malta by Irish coach Roddy Collins, finding the back of the net seven times until January 2009, when went on to play for Changsha Ginde and Shenyang Dongjin in China's League One.

Sunday began his career in Poland with Szczakowianka Jaworzno, where he made 27 appearances, scoring three goals, before moving to Lithuania to play for FC Vilniu in 2006. During his time in Lithuania, he made 15 appearances, scoring 1 goal, before deciding to try his luck in England in 2007, signing for non-league St Albans City. He impressed at Clarence Park, bagging 3 goals in 12 appearances before pitching up on trial with Colchester United on trial during the summer of 2008, where he eventually earned himself a one-year deal.
