Motupa In A Catch-22 Situation…

Motupa In A Catch-22 Situation…

Gift Motupa's difficult period with Mamelodi Sundowns recently came to an end, but securing a new club may not be a walk in the park.

The inaugural African Football League champions confirmed the striker's departure before the close of the January transfer window last Friday, allowing him to search for a new home where he will get gametime and an opportunity to get his career back on track.

Since parting ways with the club, the ex-Orlando Pirates and Bidvest Wits forward has been spotted at SuperSport United, who are looking into the possibility of signing him.

His match fitness remains a concern, as Motupa has not played competitive football regularly in a long time, so the club might take a bit of time before making a final decision on whether or not to sign him.

Indications are that Chippa United are interested in the former Baroka FC player and are closely monitoring the situation.

The former national U23 player is eligible to sign for a club that makes him a concrete offer before the end of the season due to the fact that he became a free agent by the time the transfer window closed.

Before leaving the Tshwane giants, the bulky forward was no longer part of first-team training. It's believed he was training with M-Tigers, Sundowns' reserve team.
