TS Galaxy coach Adnan Beganovic has confirmed the first January exit for the Betway Premiership club.
The Mpumalanga-based club has yet to make any significant moves in the January PSL transfer window.
However, Beganovic has disclosed that the right-back Nkosikhona Radebe is no longer with Galaxy after he submitted a transfer request citing a desire for increased playing opportunities.
Despite making 12 appearances for the Rockets, scoring a single goal, the defender has primarily been a substitute, starting only one match.
According to Beganovic, the player wasn’t ready to be a first-choice starter for his squad.

“Yes, about Radebe, actually we talked about everything and then he decided actually he wanted to play more, to have games, but my opinion, he’s not ready to have more games now, especially in our team, because we have many players in that position,” said Beganovic after their game against Golden Arrows.
“And then, in the end, when we have a meeting, he just decides to leave the club because he thinks he can find a club to play more, that’s it, real and true.
“Then I [couldn’t let me him go easily], I tried to talk with him, to explain him, it’s an opportunity, it’s a PSL club, it’s TS Galaxy, great opportunity, he trained with us, I think, around three years, two and a half years.
“And then suddenly he feels, maybe he needs to play, but I have 25 beautiful players in our squad and then everyone fights for 11th place, actually and then it’s same rules for him, if you want to play, you need to show me on the training session, you deserve, you are better as your colleagues on same position, and then you have a chance to play.
“I don’t care about names, I just [want] what I saw seven days before training, and then that I account and make list for the next game.”
