Gżira United have announced the signing of Jose Wilkson.
The Maroons are currently going through a squad overhaul as they look to build a competitive squad for their upcoming commitments in the UEFA Conference League.
The capture of Wilkson is aimed at bolstering a forward line that this week has lost the services of the prolific Maxuell Maia who moved to Birkirkara FC.
Wilkson is not a new face to Maltese football as the 31-year-old had positive spells first with Senglea Athletic and also with Hibernians.
“Jose Wilkson Teixeira Rocha is a new maroon player,” the Premier League club said in a statement.
“The Brazilian offensive player impressed with his performances for Caucaia Esporte Clube in Brazil. Wilkson also had stints with Hibernians and Senglea Athletic in the Maltese Premier League.
“The 31-year-old signed a contract with our club.”
Wilkson becomes Gżira United’s second signing in the summer transfer window.
In fact, earlier this week, the Maroons signed defender Carlos Conceicoa Filho.
The Brazilian impressed in the Challenge League with Tarxien Rainbows last season and now will try to step up his performances in the Premier League next season.
