Cape Town City have confirmed their first new signing ahead of the 2019/20 campaign.
The Siya crew reported last week that City, Mamelodi Sundowns and SuperSport United were in the race to land the signature of Abbubaker Mobara from Orlando Pirates.
At the time, it was reported that SuperSport were believed to be leading the race for the versatile player's services, however, Mobara has since chosen to return to the Mother City.
City confirmed the signing of Mobara this morning, bolstering their midfield and defensive department, this after Teko Modise announced his retirement from professional football.
