Munthali was on target again on Sunday as Bullets wrapped up the pre-season matches with a 2-0 win over his former team Tigers at Mulanje Park.

Assistant coach Elia Kananji said Munthali could be the team’s trumpcard in 2018 season.

He said: “Bright has been in tremendous form. He has really been working hard. I only hope this form will be carried on in the coming season. If that happens, I tell you he will be our team’s target man.”

Meanwhile, the forward has promised to continue sharpening his goal-scoring prowess.

“It was good to be on the scoresheet again. Thanks to team-work.  I look forward to the next game,” he said.
