The Bulawayo side have retained most players and added three strikers to the squad.
Mitchelle Katsvairo joins Chicken Inn from Zvishavane’s FC Platinum together with Tsholotsho FC gunman Edmore Chirambadare and Chiredzi’s David Temwanjira.
Antipas has two more weeks to finalise his squad for the 2015 season as the PSL registration deadline for players has been set for February 13.
“It is all good and we are going on well,” Antipas said.
“Everyone seems to be in good shape coming from the break and they are working hard at training.
“Basically we have retained all our players, brought in about four new players and will be promoting some from our junior ranks. The new players have been doing well so far.”
