Under McKinstry's leadership, K'Ogalo has been performing exceptionally which seems to influence their transfer strategy.
"Yeah, well look, at the moment we're talking to two or three guys, but I have already sort of gone on record and said we don't create lists specifically for January. We create lists for July because that's when you can get the best-quality players.
"It is in the July window, that they (players) are at the end of their contracts, their teams are more willing to release players at that stage. If we can get one or two of those guys early, then by all means we will bring them in early," McKinstry explained.
