Frustrated Cape Town City FC coach Benni McCarthy hoping to sign a centre-back

Benni McCarthy hopes Tuesday night's defeat by Kaizer Chiefs was enough to convince club chairman John Comitis of his side's need dip into the transfer market for a central defender.

McCarthy partnered junior international Keanu Cupido with Mozambique international left-back Edmilson Dove at the heart of his defence.
