Speaking after the game, City assistant coach, Vasili Manousakis said that the team is eager to find out whether Rusike will be able to solve the Citizen’s current goalscoring problem as they head into the first round of the Nedbank Cup competition. 

According to Siya sources, the club is confident that Rusike’s paperwork will be finalised before they face off against Wits on Wednesday.

Rusike, who won the Absa Premiership title twice with Amakhosi, was previously on the books of Club Africain Tunis, where he played his last game during the final of the Tunisian Cup in June last year.
