"Exciting goals await us! Don't miss them with our new star, Cesar Manzoki," Hatta Club wrote on their official X handle later on Wednesday.

"I'm here to support the club, to give the best, to help the team to stay in the league, why not?"
"We're going to work hard and try to get better results this season," Manzoki added.
