Marumo Gallants FC Miss Out on Sera Signing
Marumo Gallants FC's pre-season preparations have taken a hit after Lesotho striker Motebang Sera cut short his training stint with the club to attend to a family emergency.
What happened?
Sera, who is currently without a club, had been hoping to secure a deal with Marumo Gallants FC after his departure from Venda FC at the end of last season. However, he left the club's pre-season camp at Tshwane University of Technology in Pretoria after just two days to attend to an urgent matter in Lesotho.
Why it matters for Marumo Gallants FC
The absence of Sera has effectively ended any prospect of an agreement between the two parties. Marumo Gallants FC, who were relegated from South Africa's top-flight before returning via promotion and have since dropped back into the second tier, have been reshaping their squad ahead of the new season.
What comes next?
Sera, meanwhile, is now focused on finding another club. The Lesotho international is best known in South Africa for his spells with Royal AM, Golden Arrows, and Venda FC. Across his time in the DStv Premiership, Sera scored 14 goals in 95 appearances, operating primarily as a central striker but also capable of playing in wider attacking roles.
Sera has not disclosed any talks with other clubs, but made it clear he is keen to secure a new team "soon" as he looks to continue his professional career following the breakdown of the potential move to Marumo Gallants FC. While his short stay with the club has ended without a contract, Sera remains part of a group of experienced free agents searching for opportunities ahead of the upcoming season in South Africa and elsewhere on the continent.
