Interest is growing in a goalkeeper who has been linked with Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs this season, the Siya crew has learnt.
In his first season in Mzansi's topflight, Salim Magoola has been one of the top performers for the Natal Rich Boyz although he has been disrupted on his progress by injury.

The Ugandan international has kept 11 clean sheets from 25 matches in the KwaZulu-Natal team's Premiership campaign.
Sources close to the KZN outfit had earlier told the Siya crew that Magoola had been closely monitored by Pirates and Chiefs with a view to sign him.
For some time now, the Buccaneers have been in search of a goalkeeper to add to the squad, with the likes of TS Galaxy's Melusi Buthelezi and Cameroonian shot-stopper Simon Omossola linked with the club.
With the latest reports linking Pirates with Buthelezi, it is understood that Galaxy might join the race for Magoola with a view to replace the Bafana Bafana keeper.

"Interest is growing in Salim Magoola and Galaxy can't be ruled out in the chase for the player's signature. He is one of the players targeted to replace Buthelezi who is going to Pirates," said the source.
Magoola's contract with Richards Bay is set to finish on 30 June 2024.
