Former Cape Town City FC midfielders Thabo Nodada and Haashim Domingo are the latest signings announced by the new Premier Division side Durban City FC.
As previously reported by FARPost, Nodada and Domingo had been training with the newly promoted team for a while, hoping to impress the technical staff.
The club’s announcement of their arrival on Wednesday confirms that they have indeed impressed head coach Gavin Hunt. Both players are experienced and will likely be key in helping Durban navigate their first season in the Betway Premiership.
The 30-year-old Nodada left Cape Town City FC following their relegation to the Motsepe Foundation Championship via the PSL Promotional/Relegation Playoffs. He had been part of ‘The Citizens’ since 2015.

Another player that was announced by Durban City on Wednesday is striker Jean Lwamba. The Democratic Republic of Congo-born player has joined the club from Tafic FC in Botswana.
“Jean Lwamba means goals. Welcome to the club, Jean. Our city’s ready for you,” said the club.
