The PSL have released the list of players registered by the respective clubs for the 2013/14 Absa Premiership season, so far.
Golden Arrows signed quite a number of players during the transfer window, although most of them were unknown youngsters from the lower divisions.
Manqoba Mngqithi seems intent on bringing back Abafana Bes'thende's culture of recruiting raw talent and throwing them into the deepend, while looking to remain competitive.
It is probably upfront where they look the strongest, after signing Welcome Qalanto from Chippa United and Peter Wadabwa from Thanda Royal Zulu. The Durban side has not had the best of starts to the 2013/14 campaign but will be looking to do better so as to avoid a repeat of last season where they stared relegation in the face.
