Before joining Simba, midfielder Peter Banda was playing for the Moldovan Sheriff club
He got a chance to play in previous matches to qualify for the Champions League group stage where Sheriff Fc managed to advance to the groups for the first time
Sheriff is in Group D with Real Madrid, Inter Milan and Shakhtar Donetsk
It was a shocking decision for many in Malawi after the midfielder decided to leave Europe and return to Africa to join Simba
Banda said it was his dream to play for one of the biggest clubs in Africa, so he believes joining Simba was the right decision
"My goal is still to play in Europe, but I also aspired to play for one of the biggest teams in Africa. With the exception of Mamelodi Sundowns and Al Ahly, my third club is Simba"
"I've known Simba since I was a child, joining them is the most exciting thing for me," said Banda
In one of his interviews, Adviser to the Chairman of the Board of Directors, Crescentius Magori, said Banda would benefit Simba as well as himself
He said Simba will give him a chance to appear in the African Champions League and thus increase his value and he can return to Europe and be signed by a bigger team
