The Lautoka soccer team received a major boost, as they prepare to take on Papua New Guinea's Hekari Souths in Round Two of the O-League competition.

New Zealand based Salesh Kumar who helped Navua win their first ever IDC title last month has been cleared to play for Lautoka.

Association President, Shalen Prasad says Kumar's inclusion is a boost to his side as he is a very skillful player, who can help Lautoka win this weekend.
