Ex-Bafana international Claasen headlines CT Spurs new signings

Former Bafana Bafana midfielder Daylon Claasen is amongst the six new signings announced by Motsepe Foundation Championship side Cape Town Spurs on Thursday.

CT Spurs are set to begin life back in the second-tier league of SA football following their relegation last season.

The club has kept most of their key players as they try to find their way back to the Betway Premiership.

Defender Rushwin Dortley is amongst the players who left after securing a move to SA football giants  Kaizer Chiefs. The club has also cut ties with attacker Leo Thethani after a mutual agreement to terminate.

Siphesihle Maduna has also secured a move to TS Galaxy in the premiership, while Katlego Maphathe is reportedly training with Maritzburg United.

Players such as Asanele Velebayi and Chumani Butsaka have caught the attention of Kaizer Chiefs and Stellenbosch, respectively. However, the club is yet to accept an offer from both clubs.
