Steve Borg yesterday signed a new contract with Valletta FC.

The Malta defender was vying to continue his career overseas this summer after agreeing in principle to join Platinum Stars but the South African club pulled the plug on the deal at the eleventh hour.

Borg had turned down an offer to join Anorthosis Famagusta, in Cyprus, before opting for Platinum Stars last month.

However, with the start of a new domestic campaign around the corner, the 26-year-old has now decided to prolong his stay at Valletta after his previous five-year contract had expired at the end of the 2013-14 term.
