Richards Bay have completed the acquisition of former Orlando Pirates defender Ntsikelelo Nyauza.
The centre-back joins the KwaZulu-Natal side after parting ways with the Buccaneers recently.
He was released by Pirates alongside Kwanda Mngonyama, Abel Mabaso, Justice Chabalala, Elson Sithole, Wayne Sandilands, Linda Mntambo, while Tshegofatso Mabasa and Boitumelo Radiopane went out on a season-long loan to Sekhukhune United and Cape Town Spurs respectively.
The Matatiele-born footballer became the second most experienced player at the club with 192 appearances after captain Happy Jele.

Nyauza has played for ASD Cape Town, Platinum Stars and Roses United before joining the Soweto giants in January 2014.
He has found the back of the net on seven occasions during his stay at the Sea Robbers and weighed in with four assists in the process.
“We would like to take this opportunity and confirm the signing of Defender Ntsikelelo Nyauza, who was on the books of Orlando Pirates,” said the PSL newcomers in a statement.
“Welcome to the Natal Rich Boyz Family.”
