The outfit, popularly known as Wagosi wa Kaya, has completed a deal for Ghanaian winger Dennis Modzaka from his home country's topflight side Bechem United.
The 23-year-old has put pen to paper on a two-year contract with the Tanga-based club and has already joined the team for pre-season training.
The winger made 25 appearances in Ghana Premier League last term and provided two assists, and will look to enhance the attacking options at Coastal Union.
Modzaka becomes the fifth player to join the club under Congolese Mwinyi Zahera's reign following the arrival of three footballers from other NBC Premier League teams and one from Zanzibar.
They are Ibrahim Ajibu from Singida Fountain Gate FC, Lucas Kikoti from Namungo FC, Ally Kombo from the now-relegated Ruvu Shooting, and Abdallah Michael from Zanzibar’s Malindi.
Coastal Union begin the club's NBC Premier League campaign on August 15 looking to avoid relegation once again.
After last season's struggles, there have been wholesale changes to the club's technical bench and the playing unit.
Former Young Africans SC and Polisi Tanzania head coach, Zahera, has been tasked with the rebuilding process at Coastal Union.
Comoros goalkeeper Mahamoud Mroivili, Ugandan central defender Joseph Zziwa, Burundian fullback Emery Nimubona, and Benin midfielder Djibril Naim Olatoundji were released immediately after the league ended.
Tanzanians Yussuf Jamal Kisongo and striker Yusuf Athumani- who was signed on loan from Young Africans SC- were also deemed surplus to requirements.
Athumani has since moved to Armenia Premier League club FC West Armenia on loan, teaming up with compatriot Eric Mwijage at the club.
The Tanga team was also hit hard by the exit of players who have got better offers from other NBC Premier League clubs.
Long-time club servant, midfielder Mtenje Juma, has joined Dodoma Jiji FC, whereas striker Hamad Majimengi is completing a transfer to Namungo FC.
Cameroon international Moubarack Hamza has gone to Dodoma Jiji FC together with Gustapha Simon.
To fill the required gaps, Zahera had to contend with doing trials for both locals and foreigners.
A Ghanaian goalkeeper is among the successful trialists but is yet to be confirmed by the club.
The return of Haji Ugando and Juma Mahadhi could also provide a big boost for Zahera.
Tomorrow, Coastal Union will host Kenya Premier League side Bandari FC at Mkwakwani Stadium.
It will be the second pre-season friendly game between the two sides after last week's 1-0 victory for the Kenyan visitors.
