Motupa played under Gavin Hunt at Bidvest Wits and he’s looking to resurrect his career after parting ways with Sundowns last month.

The 29-year-old is a free agent and can sign for Matsatsantsa a Pitori or any other team interested in his services.

Due financial constraints, Hunt is looking beyond this season to hand the former Orlando Pirates attacker a lifeline.

“With Gift, we can’t sign him this season. We won’t be able to take him. I’ve spoken  to him and he just came to train with us,” Hunt said.
