The 32-year-old signed a one-year-deal with the second division club.
Gcaba played his first game for Eagles in the 1-1 draw against Real Kings last weekend.
The former Pirates defender has thanked Eagles for giving him the chance to revive his ailing football career.
“I always knew that I’d get a chance to revive my career. God is great all the time, so I never lost hope. Football has its ups and downs, but I have no regrets, looking at my previous teams,” Gcaba told SowetanLIVE.
“I am happy to be at Eagles. Mine now is to do what I do best. That’s playing football. I value this opportunity and I am willing to fight for the team going forward.”
