City sign two Orlando Pirates players as former SuperSport United star finds a new home after leaving Cape Town Spurs

Since returning to the Northern Cape-based side, Brandon Truter has made his ambitions clear during the January transfer window. The former Richards Bay coach has added experienced midfielder Thato Mokeke to his squad, along with Orlando Pirates reserve team duo Jabulani Mokone and Seth Green.

Green brings valuable experience in the NFD, having played for La Masia before their relegation. Mokone and Green join on loan, while Mokeke arrives as a free agent after parting ways with Cape Town Spurs.

The signings were announced on Bafana Ba Gucci’s social media platforms, signaling their intent to strengthen the team. Truter hopes these additions will spark a revival as City look to climb the table.

Upington currently sit in 12th place on the Motsepe Foundation Championship table, with only 18 points from 15 matches. The team has managed just four wins this season, a statistic they are determined to improve.

With their new signings, the club hopes to address gaps in their squad and build momentum for a stronger second half of the campaign. These additions signal their commitment to improving results and moving out of the lower half of the table. The remainder of the season will be crucial for Truter and his team to avoid relegation concerns.

Upington City will host fellow strugglers Cape Town Spurs in their next match, a crucial encounter at home. The team is winless in their past four games and needs a positive result to revive their season. This clash offers an opportunity for the new signings to make an immediate impact.
