Maritzburg United have announced the signings of five new players as they look to fight off relegation when DSTV Premiership action resumes next month.
The Team of Choice have Tawanda Macheke, Genino Palace, Lucky Baloyi, Steven Pereira and Friday Samu.
Head coach Ernst Middendorp expressed his delight at having these players on board.
"Palace has made the progress we were expecting whilst training with the club. We now need to work on his match fitness and hopefully, it doesn't take too long. Macheke made a good statement since his arrival. He is a forward player who has shown intelligence in game situations. He is hungry, determined to succeed, and hopefully, he will be able to assist us to turn our scoring opportunities into goals,” the German said via the club's media department.
"Steven is a Cape Verde national team player who is a centre-back with a very strong athletic personality, educated in the Netherlands. Steven suffered an Achilles tendon injury but is now fully recovered. Lucky Baloyi is well-known in South Africa. He is an experienced player with a very professional attitude. He has been the captain in the final years of Bloemfontein Celtic. Samu is coming from a team that consistently compete in CAF competitions and we are excited to have him. He's been scoring goals in Zambia, and we believe that he will be one of the solutions to our issues of struggling with finishing."
"I am convinced that all the players will have a crucial productive input for us in the remaining matches of the season."
