Betway Premiership side Marumo Gallants are expected to officially make their move to the Free State today, having spent the last few weeks in Gauteng, preparing for the new campaign.
Gallants are back in the Premiership after buying the top flight status of Moroka Swallows and their preparations have not come without any drama, as coach Dylan Kerr left without sitting on the bench in an official game.

Dan Malesela, who was at Baroka FC last season, was roped in and he has been working with the team ahead of their opening match of the season against Kaizer Chiefs. The players and technical team will be heading to Bloemfontein today, to start a new chapter for the club in the Free State.
Gallants are no strangers to playing in the Free State, having done so in their first top flight stint, but this time they will be based there, which is likely to boost revenue for the club, especially when they host some of the big clubs.
The clash against Amakhosi will take place on September 14 at Free State Stadium, a venue which the Soweto giants recently played at in July, when they faced Tanzanian giants Young Africans in the pre-season Toyota Cup.

Matome Mathiane has also signed for Gallants after leaving Baroka FC.
