Motsepe Foundation Championship side Highbury FC has announced the signing of 13 new players, including a former Chippa United Utility player, ahead of the new season.
The Eastern Cape side is in its second season in the National First Division following its promotion from the SAFA ABC Motsepe League.
They finished ninth under the guidance of Kabelo Sibiya, 10 points below the PSL Promotional/Relegation Playoffs spot. The club has been beefing up their playing personnel after a few of its players left.
As FARPost earlier reported, newly formed Betway Premiership side, Siwelele FC, has signed highly-rated playmaker Koketso Sekgodiso from the club.
The 22-year-old attacking midfielder is renowned for being skilful and creative in the final third. He made 15 appearances at Highbury last season, scoring two goals and registering two assists.
