Former Golden Arrows forward Siphamandla Sabelo has joined Botswana Premier League side Extension Gunners FC.
Sabelo joins Extension Gunners having showcased his talent for Arrows’ DStv Diski Challenge [DDC] team, which earned him a promotion to the senior team.
The 26-year-old was promoted to Abafana Bes’thende’s first team in January 2017, and he never looked back from there.
However, Sabelo is not ready for a team selection. The player is still waiting for his work permit to be approved in order to be eligible to play for the Botswana side.
‘Jarstor’, as he is affectionately known, will be anticipated to add value to the Extension Gunners’ attacking options, as the club aims to finish in a better position in the league.
