The Nditsheni Nemasisi-owned team has moved swiftly to sign the attacking midfielder Ntiyiso Bombi from Bakgakga. Bombi has featured in five games for Baroka in the current season.
In the previous season, the 23-year-old starlet made 19 appearances for the Limpopo-based side and scored five goals.
Bombi was in the books of Marumo Gallants’ DStv Diski Challenge side before moving to Baroka in January 2022.
“JDR Stars have beefed up their squad with Ntiyiso Bombi from Baroka on a two-year deal,” a source told FARPost.
“Bombi is a very promising talent and has all the qualities to make his mark at JDR Stars. So, Bombi is a player with good attacking qualities and he’ll definitely be a good signing.”
On the other hand, Baroka has been in impressive form since Dan Malesela took over the head coach role in October 2023.
The 2018 Telkom Knockout Cup champions are amongst the title-chasing teams in the Motsepe Foundation. They are sitting third on the log behind AmaTuks and Orbit College who are second and on top of the log, respectively.
