Former Orlando Pirates defender Thabo Matlaba joins Black Leopards

Former Orlando Pirates defender Thabo Matlaba has joined Black Leopards ahead of the new season.

Matlaba parted ways with the Buccaneers two weeks ago after the full-back allegedly refused to take a pay cut and has been unveiled alongside Abubakar Mumuni as Leopards' latest signings.

“Welcome to the Madidingwe Family Abubakar 'Baby' Mumuni Thabo 'Festival' Matlaba,” the club said in a statement issued on Twitter.

Although media reports suggest that the Tembisa-born defender has signed a two-year deal with an option to extend, Lidoda Duvha have not disclosed the length of his contract at the time of his unveiling.
