Gavin Hunt has reportedly been in search of a versatile player and Mobara appears to be his preferred man if he's to lose the services of Mlambo.

The South Africa international put in a solid shift in Bucs' 3-1 win over Mamelodi Sundowns last weekend.

While the other big clubs have been busy in the current window period, Bucs have to date brought in only two players both from Chippa United in Diamond Thopola and Phetso Maphanga.

They have also renewed the contracts of Mpho Makola and Luvuyo Memela, who both excelled over the weekend with goals against Sundowns.
