With Cameroonian striker Bienvenu Eva Nga rediscovering his form at Chippa United, FIFA accredited agent Charles Domingos, who was responsible for the striker's move, has opened up exclusively to KickOff on Nga's exit from Orlando Pirates that rejuvenated his form at Chippa.
The striker netted 10 goals for the Chilli Boys in the 2021/22 season, a generous return impressive and enough to tempt the Buccaneers snap up the striker for the 2022/23 campaign.

With as many as eight strikers registered in Pirates' squad for the 2022/23 season, opportunities for playing time were hard to come by.
Eva Nga impressed during Pirates' pre-season camp under new coach Jose Riveiro and indeed scored on his league debut for Pirates' 1-0 win against Moroka Swallows.
It would be the only goal Nga scored in his 15 appearances for Pirates as Terrence Dzvukamanja rose first choice up-front.
In his second season, things went from bad to worse for Ng. He was not given a single minute league of action in the first half of the season, making a move elsewhere an almost necessity.

Nga returned to Chippa at the start of the current season and is proving his quality once more. The 30-year-old has contributed three goals and one assist in Chippa's last four matches alone.
The man tasked with facilitating the striker's move to the Eastern side of South Africa in search of a revival, is experienced and respected football agent Domingos, who heads up Futuro Stars Agent Group (FSAG)
Domingos recently sat down with KickOff to shed some light on what he believes wrong for his client at Pirates and the striker's revival at Chippa.
"Eva's ability was never in question, hence the current form is not a surprise," Domingos told this website.
"Unfortunately, things didn't work for him at Orlando Pirates and we had to move on. Game time is essential for a player and if we look at the stats, it was against Eva.
"So, the sensible thing was to move on and we chose a familiar home for a new leaf and it's paying off.

Asked if he could pin-point exactly what went wrong for Eva Nga at Pirates, Domingos alluded to a lack of fair opportunity in terms of playing minutes.
"[At Pirates] It's evident that there was no game time, how does one judge a player's performance if he does not feature in games. Now he's playing and scoring," the agent added.
Alongside Nga, Domingos also represents some high-profile names in the Premier Soccer League (PSL) including AmaZulu's Riaan Hanamub, Chippa United's Baraka Majogoro and Mamelodi Sundowns' Camagu Mdevulana among others.
