When asked about the striker’s presence at the club, head coach Kabelo Sibiya confirmed the arrival of the veteran striker and a few other players.
“Yes we have signed those two guys [Nkoana and Maqoko], they are some of the new players in the team,” Sibiya told FARPost.
“Remember Nkoana was with SuperSport United and also with AmaTuks. He was also with some of the teams in the Motsepe Foundation Championship. Lulama has been with AmaTuks also in the promotion playoffs.
“So we have brought on some guys with experience in the Motsepe Foundation Championship. Dillon Goss as well who was with Polokwane City has also joined,” he added.
“So we have some experience, and we are happy for now, but it’s still a long way to go. We are playing some friendlies, and after that, we can have a better picture of what the team will be like going into the new season.”
