Former Orlando Pirates stars Selaelo Rasebotja and Thabiso Sesane, as well as ex-Kaizer Chiefs defender Njabulo Ngcobo are part of 14 players announced as Siwelele FC new signings on Saturday.
After releasing at least 20 players this transfer window, the Bloemfontein-based side has made some mass signings. Following high-profile departures like Gamphani Lungu, Neo Rapoo and Bohlale Ngwato who all joined the Buccaneers, as well as Lyle Lakay, Gape Moralo, Happy Mashiane and Pogiso Sanoka, Siwelele have moved in to fill in the gaps.
Coach Lehlohonolo Seema is building a team he wants to see finishing better in the Betway Premiership, where they claimed 10th spot last season.
As previously reported by FARPost, Rasebotja, Sesame and Ngcobo had completed deals with Siwelele and the club has now confirmed their transfer. Also arriving at Siwelele are midfielder Shadrack Kobedi from Golden Arrows as well as goalkeeper Wandile Mthombeni and Goitseone Phoko, who were signed from Casric Stars and Jwaneng Galaxy respectively.
Left-back Felix Noge comes in from ABC Motsepe League Free State side Mangaung United, while Ghanaian centre-forward Hamza Issah was signed from Hearts of Oak. Jaisen Clifford has found a new home at Siwelele after leaving Marumo Gallants FC.
