FARPost has established that experienced defender Tshepo Rikhotso has resurfaced at the Betway Premiership side Marumo Gallants following his departure from Sekhukhune United.
Rikhotso ended his Sekhukhune chapter in pursuit of greener pastures. The 31-year-old had signed for Babina Noko in July 2023.
However, since he joined the Limpopo club, Rikhotso struggled for game time. As a result, the player decided to terminate his contract with Sekhukhune on mutual consent.
Rikhotso’s contract with Babina Noko was set to expire in June 2025. In the last term, the centre-back only managed to feature in 10 games across all competitions for Sekhukhune.
