Coetzee whose stay at the Brazilians was marred by injuries, has been training with Sekhukhune for some time and he did enough to convince head coach Eric Tinkler and his technical team to offer him a contract.

“We are pleased to introduce the newest member of the Babina Noko family, Rivaldo Coetzee,” the club said in a short statement.

“The skillful defender’s experience and quality are well documented and we cannot wait for him to hit the ground running. Welcome home, The System.”
