The 34-year-old former Dwangwa United, Jomo Cosmos, Rostov FC and Polokwane City forward has penned a one and a half year deal with Be Forward Wanderers.

Essau Kanyenda has joined the Nomads following the expiry of his contract with Polokwane City.

Last week, South Africa’s KickOff magazine reported that Kanyenda had announced his retirement from active football by reiterating his desire to launch a coaching career in Malawi.

However, soon after putting pen to paper, Kanyenda told reporters that he is not yet done with football.

“Those were just rumours but I didn’t announce my retirement from football, I am not yet done with football and I am looking forward to helping Be Forward Wanderers succeed in the ongoing season,” he said.

Wanderers are short of strikers following lengthy injuries to Amos Bello and Peter Wadabwa.
Kanyenda is one of the most decorated strikers to have played for the Malawi national team.

He was part of the squad that made it to the 2010 African Cup of Nations in Angola. He also helped the Flames to reach the finals of Cosafa Castle Cup between 2002 and 2003.

The striker is the only Malawian player to have played in the UEFA Champions League. He featured in the competition when he was playing for Lokomotiv Moscow in Russia.

    5. ‘My wife can pay me K350,000’ – Kanyenda By Andrew Cane Chilapondwa January 20, 2016: The veteran Polokwane City forward was heavily linked with a move to either Big Bullets or Silver Strikers but he has completely trashed the rumours saying he is able to make the K350,000 offered to him. Speaking to a local newspaper, Esau Kanyenda, said he has no plans to play for any local side once his time at the South African club is over.Essau KanyendaKanyenda: Has slammed Malawi teams.He also added that he has been offered a job at the club once he hangs up his boots. “There is a possibility that when I retire, I will get a job (at Polokwane), so why should I blow the chance? I have also heard news that I am demanding K350 000 per month. Even if I retire now, I can be earning that money while just sitting idle and taking my kids to school. My wife can pay me that,” Kanyenda was quoted by one of the local dailies.Unconfirmed reports pin him Malawi’s richest player having plied his trade in Europe and South Africa since leaving Dwangwa United some time back. He started his professional career at Jomo Cosmos before playing for a Russian Club. Kanyenda is the only player from Malawi to have played in the UEFA Champions League. However, both Bullets and Silver have denied that they had an interest in the veteran forward.
