Papic confirmed to the Kickoff website that he has been in touch with Siphelele Ntshangase and that a deal is in the works for next season as it’s too late to sign him for the remainder of the current campaign.

“I will try my best, we will see what is going to happen,” Papic says.

“Yes exactly [I want him at least for the remainder of the season] but unfortunately he cannot be registered because he got the clearance after the window period. He’s got the clearance, but I cannot register him. They [Leopards management] told me he cannot play.”

Black Leopards are currently bottom of the DStv Premiership with just 12 points from 19 matches. They have 11 matches remaining to avoid relegation.

They face a tough next assignment away to log leaders Mamelodi Sundowns on Sunday, 21 March in their next DStv Premiership match.

Kick-off is at 17:00.

They could certainly do with the help of a player of the calibre of Siphelele Ntshangase.
