Free State Stars have their sights set on Mashale Rantabane, with the club aiming to strengthen their squad ahead of the new season. 

Rantabane is currently on the books of Maluti FET College in the SAFA Second Division and was one of the stand out players in the 4-1 win over Orlando Pirates, in the Nedbank Cup, back in February.

It was recently revealed on the Soccer-Laduma web and mobi-site that the Steve Komphela-coached outfit has already penned a deal with Maluti captain, Lucky Mokoena.

A source close to Maluti confirmed to the Siya crew that Ea Lla Koto are chasing Rantabane with a view of adding him to their roster.

“Mashale Rantabane is expected to leave his club. He is the centre back of Maluti FET College. Free State Stars are interested in him,” said the source.
