“I am excited and happy to be here, I am grateful to the board, the management, the coach and the players for the support that they have showed me and I am just looking forward to start working with the team and the rest of the guys,” said Mayuka as per Lusaka Times.
“We are actually doing well, so I hope I can add more value to the team and stability so that we try and push forward as much as we can and also try to win the league mostly. Let’s see how it goes.

At Napsa Stars, Mayuka is reunited with Egyptian coach Mohamed Fathi who coached him at Kabwe Warriors in 2007 before he moved to Maccabi Tel Aviv.
The move to Israel opened more doors in Europe for Mayuka who also played for Swiss side Young Boys, Ligue 1 sides Sochaux and Metz while a stint with Southampton in the Premier League marked the pinnacle of his career.
He helped Zambia to the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations crown and has also played his club football in Egypt for Zamalek.
