The ruling allowed Bugeja to return to training with Neptunes WPSC’s senior team, marking a significant victory for the player amidst the ongoing tension.

As the winter league progressed, Bugeja’s situation remained precarious. However, behind the scenes, discussions were underway for his transfer to San Giljan ASC. Known for their competitive edge, San Giljan recognised Bugeja’s potential and were eager to bring him into their fold.

The official announcement of his signing brought a sense of closure to a challenging period. For Bugeja, joining San Giljan offers a fresh start and an opportunity to further showcase his skills in a supportive environment. His physicality and experience, combined with his ability to perform under pressure, make him a valuable addition to the team.

They stated that they believe his presence will not only strengthen their squad but also help the club achieve its long-term objectives. As Bugeja embarks on this new chapter, he carries with him the lessons learned from his past challenges and the determination to excel in his new role.
