Sirens FC have reached an agreement to sign Brazilian defender Henrique Motta.
The experienced centre back is not a new face to Maltese football as last season he was on the books of Żejtun Corinthians.
Motta was without a club after last month he parted ways with Indonesian side Persipura. Sirens officials made contact with the 31-year-old and on Tuesday the player agreed personal terms with the St Paul’s Bay’s side and will sign a contract until the end of the season.
Motta has spent the majority of his career in Brazil as he was on the books of several clubs such as Rio Branco, Portuguesa and Penapolense among others.
He arrived in Malta in January 2021 for the second part of the season but his stay on lasted a few months after the football season in Malta was cut short by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Motta made seven appearances with Żejtun Corinthians before he left the club and moved to Indonesia.
Meanwhile, Sirens are working hard to try and find a replacement for Argentine winger Fernando Brandan who returned home due to personal reasons.
