Marsa FC, one of the leading contenders for promotion from the National Challenge League to the Malta Premier League, has secured the loan signing of attacking midfielder Jake Engerer from Balzan FC.
The deal was finalised yesterday evening and marks a significant move for the young Maltese talent, who will now have the opportunity to gain valuable playing time in the second half of the season.
Engerer, a former Maltese U-21 international, joined Balzan FC on a permanent transfer from Sliema Wanderers FC during the summer. However, opportunities have been limited for the midfielder under British coach Dave Rodgers, with Engerer struggling to secure regular minutes in the squad.
On the opening day of the January transfer window, Balzan and Marsa quickly reached an agreement to send Engerer on loan. The move aims to provide him with more game time and further develop his skills in a competitive environment.
This transfer presents Marsa with an additional attacking option as they push for promotion while offering Engerer a chance to demonstrate his abilities and return to top form. With his talent and experience at the youth international level, he is expected to be a valuable asset for Marsa in their campaign for top-flight football.
Engerer’s move highlights the continued focus on developing young Maltese players and ensuring they gain the necessary experience to thrive at the highest levels of the game. Fans will now look forward to seeing how the promising midfielder makes his mark in the National Challenge League.
