EX-KAIZER CHIEFS STAR TO SIGN FOR CAPE TOWN SPURS?

Having played 23 games with two assists for AmaZulu last season before falling out with coach Romain Folz, the 31-year-old Buchanan was unveiled in Parow on Friday after he was assessed for nearly a month.

The deal confirms a return to the team Buchanan left when he was 16 before moving to the likes of Mamelodi Sundowns, Old Mutual and FC Cape Town.

The announcement was made without revealing any contract details.

Meanwhile, Spurs will start the season away to TS Galaxy on Saturday, 5 August.

ERICK MATHOHO JOINING THE OTHER ROOKIES?

Meanwhile , Chiefs legend Erick Mathoho is expected to wear a different colour jersey next season – and it will look a little odd.

Mathoho looks set to be moving back home to Limpopo next season, where he will be wearing orange.

As reported in June, Amakhosi bid farewell to the 33-year-old after 11 years and 267 games, which included two DStv Premiership titles.

The question that followed was about his next destination.

After training with SuperSport United last week, the Thohoyandou-born defender, who began his career at Bloemfontein Celtic, is reportedly close to signing for PSL newcomers Polokwane City.

“He left SuperSport United because they never made any offer. So he’s not with the team in Durban for pre-season,” a source told FARPost.

“Polokwane City are talking to him with the view of signing him. They’re not looking at assessing him, they just want to sign him,” the source added.
