<br />
Club officials revealed that Saad Natiq from Iraqi side Al-Quwa Al-Jawiya has joined the side. The 22 year old defender can play in defense and midfield, and has already represented his national team on a number of occasions.<br />
<br />
Joining Natiq will be Alain Traoré who has signed from Turkish side Kayserispor. The striker is a current Burkina Faso international and represented his country at the recent African Cup of Nations tournament held in Gabon. Traoré will be charged with firing Markhiya out of relegation trouble.<br />

Markhiya management will now turn their attentions to securing fourth professional player for the side, before getting down to preseason training for their second ever season in the QSL. </p>
