Sekhukhune United are continuing to strengthen their squad for the upcoming season, this time with the acquisition of midfielder Sydney Malivha.
Malivha joins the Babina Noko from the Motsepe Foundation Championship side, Baroka FC.
The Thohoyandou-born defensive midfielder had a decent run with Bakgaga last season, where he featured in 26 matches across all competitions.
Sekhukhune have been busy in this transfer window period, with Malivha becoming the eighth confirmed signing for the Betway Premiership side.
The other seven players that have been announced by the club are: Miguel Timm, Bradley Grobler, Sphiwe Mahlangu, Malekgene Mampuru, Toaster Nsabata, Manuel Sapunga, and Ronaldo Maarman.
OTHER PLAYERS EXPECTED TO BE UNVEILED BY SEKHUKHUNE UNITED
Sekhukhune are also expected to unveil Thuso Mogale, and Dan Ndhlovu in due course, as previously reported by FARPost.
In addition, two weeks ago, the side confirmed that they have decided to retain five of their key players, including the club captain, Linda Mntambo, Chibuike Ohizu, Daniel Cardoso, Vusimuzi Ncube, and Tresor Tshibwabwa.
On the other hand, Sekhukhune have cut ties with Loydt Kazapua, Kamohelo Sithole, Miguel Dias, Alves Ngakosso, and Lindokuhle Mtshali.
Meanwhile, Katlego Otladisa and Sipho Mbule left the club after their loan spells ended. Otladisa returned to his parent club, Orlando Pirates, where he was joined by Mbule after his contract with Mamelodi Sundowns expired.
Sekhukhune will start the new season with the MTN8 quarter-final fixture against TS Galaxy on Saturday, 2 July, at the New Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane. The match will start at 18:00.
With Babina Noko busy building a solid squad for the new season, the side would love to continue where they left off last campaign, having finished in fourth place for the second time in a row.
