National soccer team striker Manoa Masi is making a return to top level competition after a lapse of three years.

Masi is back for the Ba side after a one year stint with Nadroga in 2004.

The top striker’s career was hampered by a knee injury but now he has fully recovered and ready to don the black jersey again.

Ba soccer president Rishi Kumar said Masi's inclusion is a boost to his side, as they prepare for the O-League encounter against Vanuatu's Tafea Football club next Wednesday.

The match will kick off at 7pm at Govind Park.
