Paul Lapira joins Tarxien Rainbows for 2026/27 campaign

Paul Lapira has been confirmed as one of Tarxien Rainbows FC’s new signings for the 2026/27 season, arriving with a strong reputation as a forward who delivers when it matters most. The Maltese attacker joins the club fresh from winning promotion to the Premier League with Birżebbuġa St Peter’s last season, where he played an important role in their historic rise to the top flight. Remarkably, it was his second consecutive promotion, having achieved the same feat the year before with Valletta, helping the Lilywhites return to the Premier League at the first attempt.

Tarxien have welcomed Lapira into the squad as they continue strengthening ahead of the new campaign, highlighting his work rate, versatility and proven ability to perform under pressure. His experience in two successful promotion pushes adds valuable pedigree to a Rainbows side aiming to climb the table and build long‑term stability.
