Maketa returns to Titans coaching staff



Malibongwe Maketa has been re-appointed as assistant coach of the Titans cricket team.

The Titans said on Thursday Maketa would take up his post from May 1.

"I am delighted that Mali [Maketa] has agreed to be the Nashua Titans assistant coach," said Titans head coach Matthew Maynard.

"After an exhaustive search he was the standout candidate and I am looking forward to working with him in the future.

"Mali brings a wealth of experience to the post and I am sure we will learn a lot from each other in the coming months and seasons.

"He has a great way with players and he will help them develop to reach their maximum potential."

Maketa, 31, was first appointed to assist Richard Pybus in the 2006/07 season and they enjoyed a successful partnership, winning five domestic trophies over a two-year period.

Having been named the Northerns coach in May 2008, Maketa led the amateur side to the provincial one-day and T20 trophies.
