- Jali has been without a club
- Chiefs and Pirates were linked to him
- Swallows eventually snapped him
WHAT HAPPENED: Swallows managed to convince Jali to join them after parting ways with Mamelodi Sundowns.
The midfielder has now reunited with coach Steve Komphela having worked together at Masandawana.
After sealing his move, the 33-year-old has now vowed to give his best and help the Dube Birds realize their objectives.
WHAT HE SAID: "I would like to thank everyone behind the scenes who pushed to bring me here at Moroka Swallows," Jali told the club's media team.
"I am at another big club that is on a journey of rebuilding, so I am very delighted to be here and be part of his big club. Nothing is going to be easy, I just must work hard to make the coach’s job easy, because if I don’t do that, someone else will.
"The fact that he is my former coach and we have a good personal relationship does not matter at this point, we are both here to work."
THE BIGGER PICTURE: Jali played 12 Premier Soccer League matches and two Cup games before falling out with the club.
He has since been out hunting for a new team, with Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates initially linked with the player.
