Motsepe Foundation Championship side Polokwane City are set to complete the signing of veteran striker Lerato Lamola.
This publication has gathered that Lamola has been training with Rise and Shine for the past few days.
It is believed that Polokwane are keen on luring the striker to beef up their attack ahead of the resumption of the second-tier league.
At the beginning of the season, Lamola was reportedly on the verge of joining All Stars upon their relocation to Gauteng from Cape Town.
But the former Golden Arrows striker was unveiled by Platinum City Rovers instead. However, after playing in just three league matches Lamola parted ways with the North West based club.
Lamola started his football career at Free State based club Roses United in the 2012/13 season. It was then that he was discovered by Bloemfontein Celtic.
He spent three seasons at Siwele where he featured 89 times. The 36-year-old scored 21 times.
After the Celtic success, Lamola secured a move to Golden Arrows. He also made a name for himself at the KwaZulu-Natal based club where he played over 116 matches.
After four seasons at Arrows, Lamola secured a move back to his home province of Limpopo via a move to Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila. This was before they changed their name to Marumo Gallants.

FARPost has reliably been informed that Lamola is likely to sign a short term deal with Polokwane City.
“He started training with us two weeks ago and is looking good. but let’s see what will happen before we resume the season,” said the source.
He is set to join a string force that already has seasoned players such as Puleng Marema and Malawi international Khuda Muyaba.
City are currently top of the Motsepe Foundation Championship League.
They have collected 25 points in their opening 11 matches of the season. City have only lost twice, winning eight and just one draw so far.
