Eibar coach Dorronsoro explains why he signed Banyana Banyana star Matlou

Eibar manager Iker Dorronsoro has opened up on how he ensured the club secured the signing of Noko Matlou over the summer.

The 2008 Africa Women's Footballer of the Year completed her maiden professional deal at the age of 35 to the Spanish outfit a week ago and will team up with compatriot Thembi Kgatlana.

Matlou, however, was seemingly convinced to join the Gunsmith on a one-year deal after the assessment of her exploits and discussions by Dorronsoro.
