Both new signings trained with Usuthu before securing deals, but a third trialist, Justin Shonga, failed to secure a contract.

McCarthy’s AmaZulu side kick off their 2021/22 season on Sunday with an MTN8 quarter-final at home against Cape Town City at 18:00.

Ahead of the encounter, McCarthy, who is a former Citizens coach, confirmed he is happy with the look of his squad.

McCarthy said according to Kickoff: “New players will be confirmed soon and obviously Kgosto Moleko has joined us, a player that I was very interested in when he was let go by Kazier Chiefs.

“I think he has a wealth of experience and he’ll give us a different dimension in the team and then we’ve finalised Pule Ekstein as well so these two players join our camp.

“Some experience now with exciting young talent that we’ve got coming through the ranks, so yes the team looks very stable. We look good, we’re not anything special like Sundowns and Chiefs with the lucrative signings they’ve made.

“But where we’re at and where we want to go, these players were perfect for what we needed so I’m very satisfied and happy.”
