Joseph Malongoane resurfaces at new club after Marumo exit

Veteran midfielder Joseph Molangoane has returned to one of his previous teams following an exit from Marumo Gallants.

Molangoane spent the past five months at Betway Premiership side – Gallants. He made just two appearances under coach Dan Malesela before he parted ways with the club.

It was his second stint at the club, having joined from SAFA ABC Motsepe League side Sunrise FC, where he was a player-coach.

The 36-year-old has now returned to Sunrise FC where he will also feature as a player. He joins players such as Tebogo Langerman and Edward Manqele at the club.

“We are very excited to have Joseph coming to the team. He has been with us before,” technical director [TD] of the club Markos Legodi told FARPost.

“There won’t be any issue with adaptability. He will add a wealth of experience and guide the young ones. He is a great leader, ‘Popo’ [Joseph Molangoane], and he didn’t hesitate to return. That alone shows how much he believes in our project.”

Sunrise have made their ambitions for a promotion clear to the PSL in the NFD since the beginning of the season.

The club, coached by former Mamelodi Sundowns defender Punch Masenemela, is currently third on the ABC Motsepe League stream B. They are 10 points behind leaders, The Dolphins having played three games less.

“We didn’t do badly in the first round of the league, and now we are looking to bolster the squad to make sure that we achieve our objective,” added Legodi.

The Limpopo ABC Motsepe League is one of the most highly contested in the country. Last year, the provincial league was won by Mpheni Defenders, who unfortunately could not get promoted during the national play-offs.
