Marumo Gallants have reportedly strengthened their squad with the signing of promising midfielder Ntsako Mathebula, despite the primary transfer window having already closed.

The Betway Premiership outfit has secured the services of the 22-year-old midfielder after he was released by Motsepe Foundation Championship side Lerumo Lions. The move has attracted attention because it was completed outside the normal transfer window.

According to a report by FARPost, Mathebula signed for Marumo Gallants as a free agent after the two clubs reached an amicable agreement regarding his departure.

The midfielder had previously featured for Pretoria Callies, gaining valuable experience in the second tier of South African football.
