Maphosa signs Lambs contract!
Tamworth Academy graduate Fortune Maphosa has committed his immediate future to the football club, after signed a contract for the remainder of this season, as well as an option for 2019/20.
The powerful 18 year old defender, who has actually featured in an unfamiliar midfield role in recent weeks, has started the last five first team fixtures, and also made a cameo appearance for Southport against Solihull Moors in The FA Trophy recently.
Maphosa recently told Matt Panter of The Tamworth Herald “It has been great and I appreciate the fact Dennis Greene has shown a lot of trust in me. To put an 18-year-old in could be seen as a brave move."
He continued “I get on really well with him and he has given me an opportunity to express myself. He’s given me a lot of advice. He has told me to keep working hard and to the best of my ability. He asked me to work on my match fitness as well but I feel that has come over the past few games. I feel a lot more sharper now and hopefully I can push on.”
