Zanaco Football Club have officially confirmed the signing of Tinklar Sinkala from Kabwe Warriors, securing the promising defender on a two-year deal. The 24-year-old joins the Bankers after a standout season with the Magnificent and a maiden appearance for Chipolopolo at the 2024 COSAFA Cup.
Sinkala’s addition represents another strategic reinforcement by Zanaco as they rebuild ahead of the 2025/26 MTN Super League season.
Solid Signing for the Bankers
Zanaco FC confirmed the deal on Monday morning, adding another rising star to their ranks. Sinkala, who was a consistent performer for Kabwe Warriors throughout the 2024/25 campaign, has been on the radar of several Super League clubs.
His performances earned him a call-up to the national team, where he made his debut under Avram Grant during the COSAFA Cup, showcasing composure, strength, and defensive intelligence beyond his years.
From the Magnificent to Sunset
Sinkala made his name at Kabwe Warriors, where he played a vital role in the team’s impressive defensive record. The club conceded just 31 goals in 34 matches, with Sinkala at the heart of the backline.
His growth under the Kabwe Warriors technical bench was evident, and his transition to Zanaco marks a significant step up in his career as he now joins one of Zambia’s most storied clubs.
A Bright Future at Sunset Stadium
Sinkala becomes part of Zanaco’s defensive overhaul as the club aims to return to the top echelons of Zambian football. With continental football in their sights, the Bankers are assembling a competitive squad under the watchful eye of their technical bench.
The club believes Sinkala’s combination of youth, top-flight experience, and international exposure will bolster their ambitions in the new campaign.
Conclusion
The arrival of Tinklar Sinkala is a statement of intent by Zanaco FC, signalling their desire to climb back into title contention. With the defender already earning international recognition, fans at Sunset Stadium will be eager to see him in red and white next season.
