Coton FC Overview

Check out the latest transfer news and rumours from Amakhosi, Buccaneers, Masandawana, the rest of the PSL teams and South African players and coaches plying their trade abroad.

Following the announcement of a move to an Iraq Stars League club, the South African football fraternity has expressed heartfelt messages for the fans' favourite, who was once expected to re-establish himself as one of the most talented and exciting players to watch. This came after he joined Orlando Pirates following a disappointing stint with Mamelodi Sundowns and a short loan spell at Sekhukhune United. However, his flair-filled return to prominence proved short-lived at the Soweto giants, where the 28-year-old struggled for consistent game time under Abdeslam Ouaddou.

The Chilli Boys once again defied the odds to retain their Premier Soccer League status, sealing survival with a crucial final-day win over the Soweto giants to avoid the relegation/promotion playoffs. In typical fashion, chairman Siviwe 'Chippa' Mpengesi made a daring late-season call by appointing Brandon Truter just a week before the decisive clash, a move that proved inspired as the Eastern Cape outfit completed another remarkable escape.

The renowned coach was recently linked with a return to North Africa with Pyramids FC but those reports may be wide of the mark as news has broken that Jingles is one of 80 applicants received by the South African Football Association (SAFA) for the soon-to-be vacant head coach role.
