MCLIVE WHO?

Gavin Hunt rubbishes McClive Phiri interests

According to The Chronicle, Bidvest-wits sent scouts to watch the player in Saturday's Chibuku Super Cup final against Ngezi Platinum Stars. The report states that should Phiri impress the Clever Boys coach, the Johannesburg-based side will not be expected to pay Highlanders anything as the player's contract expires at the end of the month. Phiri has four national team caps he earned from World Cup qualifiers against Somalia in Djibouti and Harare, as well as two legs of the CHAN qualifier against Lesotho.

Contacted for comment, Hunt tells KickOff.com the reports are not true. "I don't know anything about it. Which scouts are those?" Hunt asks "I'm really happy for those scouts, whoever they are I'd love to know. Ja I'd love to know who those people are."
