“Ziba is a centre back we’ve tracked playing in the NFD. He’s a versatile defender and has had a good season at his previous club. He is comfortable on the ball, good aggression and good height, so a good addition to the squad in my opinion,” Tinkler told CT City media.

Ziba was a key figure for JDR Stars in the 2023/24 Motsepe Foundation Championship last season, featuring in 29 of their 30 league games.
