DStv Premiership newcomers Cape Town Spurs have continued strengthening their squad ahead of the 2023/24 PSL season as they have added a Marumo Gallants striker Riyaaz Nell to their attack.
CT Spurs have been an active side in the market, trying to bring in players who will be useful to them. The club’s aim is to stamp its authority and stay beyond this upcoming campaign in SA’s top flight.
To add, the Cape Town outfit has been able to keep the core of their squad [youth and experience] despite interest in a number of their players from other teams.
So far, the Capetonians have acquired the services of Siyanda Msami, Luvuyo Phewa, Keagan Buchanan, Dylan Stoffels and Shaquille Abrahams.
CAPE TOWN SPURS COMPLETES SIXTH SIGNING AHEAD OF THE NEW SEASON
Nell becomes the sixth player to join the Urban Warriors during the transfer window. Nell had joined Bahlabane Ba Ntwa ahead of the 2022/23 season from ABC Motsepe League side Santos FC.
The 23-year-old failed to impress at Gallants as he struggled for game time. He only made two league appearances the entire season.
“Welcome to the Urban Warriors, Riyaaz!” Spurs posted on their socials.
WHAT SHAUN BARTLETT SAID ABOUT BRINGING IN NEW SIGNINGS
