Amakhosi had often used the likes Edmilson DoveZitha Kwinika and Siyabonga Ngezana as regular centre back options last season. The likes of Njabulo Ngcobo, Dube and Mathoho were nothing but bit part players for the club during the previous season. Now out of the list of fringe centre backs, Ngcobo is the only one that has survived while Dube has re-signed for Richards Bay in a two-year deal.

Now this publication reported some encouraging news and movement on the side of Mathoho, as last week, he was reportedly spotted training with SuperSport United, and even playing in a friendly game for them. It seemed as if, he was about to receive a lifeline from his former coach at Chiefs, Gavin Hunt, under whom he was a regular. But now in an unexpected turn of events, it looks as if the lanky defender might not be signed after all.

MATHOHO NO LONGER AT SUPERSPORT?

“From what I know, he is no longer training with SuperSport. When the team went to Durban now, he did not go with them.” A source confirmed to Soccer-Laduma.

It remains to be seen if the door is closed and if he failed the trial at SuperSport, or the door us still open for Mathoho upon the team’s return from Durban. The former Bafana Bafana defender featured 262 times for Chiefs.
