Marumo Gallants FC have officially signed striker Dino Ndlovu as a free agent to bolster their squad for the remainder of the Betway Premiership season. The 35-year-old, a former South Africa international, returns to the PSL after stints abroad in Israel, Cyprus, Azerbaijan, Turkey, and China.
What happened?
Marumo Gallants FC announced the addition of Dino Ndlovu, who joins after leaving Turkish side Sakaryaspor FC. The club statement highlighted his proven goal-scoring record and vast experience in top-tier leagues worldwide. Ndlovu, who last played competitive football in May 2024, previously featured for Mamelodi Sundowns, Bloemfontein Celtic, and Mpumalanga Black Aces in South Africa.
Why it matters for Marumo Gallants FC
The signing addresses Gallants’ urgent need for firepower as they battle to avoid relegation. With eight league games remaining, Ndlovu’s experience could prove vital alongside established players like Washington Arubi, Daniel Akpeyi, and Xola Mlambo. The club also promoted winger Obarate Shaun Morgan from their reserve team to the first squad.
What comes next?
Ndlovu may lack match fitness after his recent inactivity, but Marumo Gallants FC need him to contribute quickly. The team, currently hovering near the relegation zone, will rely on his ability to find the net in their remaining fixtures. His international pedigree, including eight caps for Bafana Bafana, adds depth to their attacking options.
