As reported by the Siya crew, an offer for the 26-year-old was initially accepted at Babina Noko last month, though the proposed move went on to hit a snag.

However, a deal has now been agreed to in principle after the parties sat down again to dot the i's and cross the t's, with the player set to pack his bags to join his new teammates at the Soweto giants later this month.

"It's something that the two clubs first agreed on in May already but there were some issues that needed to be ironed out before the deal could be concluded. Now that the player is back from the national team and with the clubs having concluded with the issues that were outstanding, the deal has been signed and sealed. It's a three-year deal with an option to extend for two years," concluded the source.
Siyethemba Sithebe is another new signing for Amakhosi, while Kamohelo Mahlatsi and Dillon Solomons are expected to join from Swallows FC. The likes of Golden Arrows' Pule Mmodi and Given Msimango from TS Galaxy are of the players linked with the Soweto giants.
