George Lebese's departure from his USL Championship club Colorado Springs Switchbacks has made the shopping list of free agents available for PSL clubs even juicier, with the likes of Oupa Manyisa, Siphelele Ntshangase and Thabo Qalinge all looking to bounce back.
Lebese confirmed over the weekend that he has parted ways with the Switchbacks and this could interest some of the clubs in the PSL, having seen how he was able to bounce back at the US-based club after a difficult few years, post his Kaizer Chiefs spell. The former Mamelodi Sundowns winger joins an impressive list of players who are waiting to make a return to the top flight.
