Kuantan - East Coast outfit Pahang who have targeted at least one title in the M-League this season, have signed up seven new faces to help their cause.
The seven are a mixture of young and senior players, signed from various teams that featured in the M-League last season.
Among the seven were R. Surendran and Mohd Zaiza Zainal Abidin from Selangor, Narulerwan Makmor and Munir Amran (Felda United), Mohd Faizol Hussain (Johor), Muhd Suffian Ab Rahman Kungi Raman (Sarawak) and Mohd Alafi Mahmud (PKNS).
Pahang Football Association vice president Datuk Dr Omar Othman was confident that the inclusion of the seven would help revive Pahang's football fortunes, especially after the former Malaysia Cup and Super League champion had suffered a run of poor form.
"The team under coach Dollah Salleh has shown good progress in a number of friendly matches since we beat T-Team 3-2, Pos Malaysia 2-1, Police 3-0 and Armed Forces 4-1. Our only defeat was to Selangor (1-2)," he said when met here Friday.
Pahang, a former powerhouse, had won the Malaysia Cup in 1983 and 1992 while setting history as the first team to win the inaugural Super League title in 2004.
The East Coast side had also won the Premier League title in 1987, 1992, 1995, 1999 and the FA Cup in 2006.
Pahang will kick off their Super League campaign this year against Perlis on Jan 29.
