Multiple local teams, and some from abroad, have expressed an interest in the Ugandan keeper, prompting Richards Bay to issue a stern statement cautioning against direct negotiations with their player.
Despite Magoola’s existing contract with Richards Bay being set to end in June, external interest has accelerated the process.
The club, based in eMhlathuze, has identified the need to secure Magoola’s commitment amid potential poaching attempts by both local and international teams.
