Farhod was the club's star striker in 2015 before injury forced him out. Indeed at one point, just before his injury, he was among a few Malaysia-based foreign players who were named to join the Malaysian Invitation team in a high-profile international friendly in Kuala Lumpur.
Says one of the sources: " Farhod is injury-free. His fitness is also sound as he had played in Uzbekistan after leaving T-Team." He adds that Shavkat who is already in Kuala Terengganu, will replace injured Makan Konate. Countryman Maiga from Mali, a central defender and Uzbek's defensive midfielder, Dilshod Sharofetdinov, will make up the rest of the import players as they will feature for the team in their second season.
For the record, Farhod and Dilshod used to play together in Uzbek Div. 1 Club, Pakhtakor.
Having quality import players is crucial for T-Team as many of its local players, including last season's most promising young player, Safawi Rasid, have joined other clubs for the new season. The club's 2016 President Cuppers have been roped in as replacements.
T-Team were in Indonesia recently where they won twice and drew once against lesser local teams in their friendly games. Still under Indonesian head coach, Rahmad Darmawan and his coaching staff for the second consecutive season, they will be in KL for ten days for their next series of pre-season friendly games.
