CHIPOLOPOLO midfielder William Njobvu says he is looking for better fortunes at Cypriot club Enosis Paralimni after leaving Israel side Hapoel Be'er Sheva.

The Zambia midfielder moves to Cyprus after leaving Be'er Sheva by mutual consent just a season into a two-year deal with the Israeli club.

Njobvu said in an interview that he has signed a one-year deal with Enosis who finished eighth last season.

"I signed a one year deal with a Cyprus premier league team. I am so happy about this move and I believe it is a blessing," Njobvu said, adding: "It is yet another opportunity to restart but I know a few people will understand my move but I just had to make a decision for my future."

Njobvu, who received little playing time at Be'er Sheva last season, had also received other offers from Israel and South Africa before settling on Enosis.

"I believe it's not about the country, the league or even the people but it's about me," Njobvu said.

"My goals, my faith and passion to the game can make me succeed one day and make someone proud."

The 26-year-old played his last game for Zambia on March 24 when he came on as a late substitute in Chipolopolo's 1-1 draw against Lesotho in a 2014 FIFA World Cup Group D qualifier in Maseru.
