AmaZulu FC is on the verge of finalizing the signing of former Orlando Pirates winger Neo Mokoena, sources confirm. The 24-year-old has completed his medical and will join Usuthu as a free agent following his departure from the Buccaneers.
Who is Neo Mokoena?
Neo Mokoena, 24, progressed through Orlando Pirates' youth system, representing their DStv Diski Challenge side before also playing for their feeder team in the ABC Motsepe League. Despite holding a first-team contract, he never broke into Pirates' senior setup.
Why does this signing matter for AmaZulu FC?
Mokoena's addition bolsters AmaZulu's attacking lineup as they aim to climb the Betway Premiership standings. The winger attracted interest from several clubs, but Usuthu acted swiftly to secure his services.
What happens next for Mokoena and AmaZulu FC?
An official announcement is imminent, though both AmaZulu FC and Mokoena's representatives at P Management have declined to comment. The club will be eager for the young talent to contribute immediately in their upcoming matches.
