Richards Bay FC have confirmed their first signing in the January transfer window, bolstering the attack for the second round of the 2023/24 DStv Premiership season.
The Natal Rich Boyz have had a difficult start to the first round of the campaign, and they are flirting with relegation.
At the halfway stage of the season, they sit 15th on the league table with only three wins, four draws and nine defeats. The KZN side has accumulated 13 points from 16 games
The poor start to the season saw Richards Bay FC fire head coach Kaitano Tembo, who has only been at the helm for over six months. Tembo has since been replaced by Vusimuzi Vilakazi.
Richards Bay is in their second season in the Premiership after gaining promotion from the Motsepe Foundation Championship at the start of the 2022/23 campaign.
With Richards Bay looking to turn their fortunes in the second round, they completed the signing of a Malawian forward.
