Two top players Lucky Mohomi and Letsie Koapeng from the relegated Limpopo side, Marumo Gallants have been announced by a new DStv Premiership club.
Bahlabane Ba Ntwa suffered a sorrowful 2-0 defeat to Swallows FC at the Dobsonville Stadium on the final day of the 2022/2023 season and were relegated to the Motsepe Foundation Championship.
Mohomi and Koapeng played together for only one season at Gallants. The two players were also clubless in the 2021/2022 season. This is before they were given a chance to revive their careers at Bahlabane Ba Ntwa.
LUCKY MOHOMI AND LETSIE KOAPENG FIND NEW HOME IN KZN
KwaZulu-Natal based outfit Richards Bay have secured a double signing of Gallants as they prepare for a DStv Premiership 2023/2024 season.
The Natal Rich Boys have wasted no time bringing on board the duo. Mohomi and Koapeng put pen-to-paper on an undisclosed length of the deals.
“Richards Bay Football Club would like to announce the new signings for the upcoming season, i.e., Lucky Mohomi (Midfielder) from Marumo Gallants and Letsie Koapeng (Striker) also from Marumo Gallants,” reads the club’s statement.
“Welcome to the family of Natal Rich Boys.”
OTHER PLAYERS EXPECTED TO LEAVE GALLANTS
And as expected, a host of players will also leave the 2023 Confederations semi-finalist to find new homes.
Ranga Chivaviro leads the list of players who are anticipated to leave Gallants. Chivaviro has also reportedly signed a pre-contract with Richards Bay.
Meanwhile, the dribbling wizard Katlego Otladisa is heavily linked with a move to Orlando Pirates. Another key player who is set to leave is Celimpilo Ngema. He will join AmaZulu next season.
