Quetzals' premiership challenge takes flight

BREAKING: THE Quito Quetzals have sounded a warning to the rest of their premiership contenders that they mean business by securing the first deal of the Americas XVIII trade mid-season trade period.

The 'mega- trade' will see New Brooklyn Hawks superstars Brendon Goddard and Bryce Gibbs arrive in Quito in exchange for two emerging stars in Matt Crouch and Mark Blicavs.

The Quetzals have been on a red-hot streak of form recently but, their coach Memphistopheles felt his side was a missing piece of the puzzle in the race to claim the 2015 flag.

He said picking up a quality, premium midfielder was always on the agenda for the mid-season trade period and was delighted with the signings of Goddard and Gibbs.

"The acquisition of Brendon and Bryce will go a long way to rectifying the hole left in our midfield by the retirement of Chris Judd and should help transform us in to a genuine premiership threat," Memphistopheles said.

"Both players were very keen to join us in Quito and when we were alerted to the fact they were on the market we just couldn't pass up this opportunity to sign them."

Memphistopheles was disappointed to lose Blicavs and Crouch but thanked them for their service to the club and wished them all the best for the future.

"In order to sign big name players you need to give up some major talent and that's what the Hawks will get in Blicavs and Crouch.

Blicavs was in career best form this season and could be anything in the future while Crouch has also started showing signs that he's ready to take his game to the next level," he said.

When questioned about whether there would be any other deals to come in this trade period Memphistopheles was coy, saying he wouldn't be drawn on whether the Quetzals had been chasing players at any other clubs.

"I can tell you that there has been some interest in our players from opposition clubs though and rightly so given the form we have been in."
