Marumo Gallants FC are exploring a potential move for free agent Happy Mashiane as they look to bolster their defensive options. The 28-year-old left-back, who was recently released by Kaizer Chiefs, has been training with ABC Motsepe League side Tembisa Destroyers to maintain his fitness while awaiting a professional contract.
Why is Marumo Gallants FC interested in Happy Mashiane?
Marumo Gallants FC are in the market for a left-back and see Mashiane as a cost-effective option. The player, who came through the development structures at Kaizer Chiefs, offers Premier Soccer League (PSL) experience and could provide depth to the squad. His availability as a free agent makes him an attractive proposition for the club.
What is Happy Mashiane's recent history?
Mashiane's career has been on hold since he was sent off in the 2021 CAF Champions League final. He spent last season on loan at Siwelele but struggled to secure regular game time. Earlier this year, Stellenbosch FC opted against signing him after a pre-season trial, with coach Gavin Hunt citing a lack of match fitness as the reason.
What happens next for Marumo Gallants FC and Mashiane?
Marumo Gallants FC will assess Mashiane's current fitness levels before making a final decision on a potential contract offer. If the move goes through, it could provide the player with a platform to rebuild his career in the PSL.
