SuperSport United sign young duo
SuperSport United CEO Stanley Matthews said he was impressed with the duos ambition and abilities.
SuperSport United have announced the signatures of goalkeeper Putco Khoza and Kegan Johannes on two-year contracts with options to extend.
Khoza will join captain Ronwen Williams, Boalefa Pule and George Chigova in the goalkeeping department.
The 20-year-old Khoza played for ABC Motsepe League outfit Thaba Tshwane FC and is a product of former Bafana Bafana goalkeeper Shuaib Walters Goalkeeping Academy.
Johannes (20) previously played for Ajax Cape Town/Cape Town Spurs, joining the Western Cape-based side at the young age of nine and playing just under 100 games.
He also played a significant role in helping the national u.23 team to qualify for the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games in the 2019 AFCON games, but unfortunately missed the tournament due to an injury and will look to add to his five caps while playing for Matsatsantsa.
SuperSport United CEO Stanley Matthews said he was impressed with Khoza’s abilities.
“Putco is an impressive young goalkeeper who has caught the eye of our goalkeeping coach Grant Johnson and has impressed both coach Andre Arendse and head coach Kaitano Tembo while training with us.
“Training with Ronwen Williams, George Chigovi and Boalefa Pule can only make him a great prospect for the future,” Matthews said.
Regarding the signing of Johannes, Matthews said the young defender was ideal for the club as he can play in different positions.
“Kegan is the ideal type of player we as SuperSport United love. He can play in three positions, he is young, ambitious and very talented. Alongside the likes of Luke Fleurs, Keenan Phillips and Jesse Donn, we feel Kegan Johannes will become a household name in South African football and play a big part in the future of our Club,” he said.
It’s unlikely if the duo would make their DStv debut this season given the fact that they are yet to debut in a big league.
United reserve side recently beat Kaizer Chiefs 2-1 in the DStv Diski Challenge Festival over the weekend and will surely at one point give the new signings a run soon.
