SuperSport United have bolstered their squad with two new signings ahead of the new DStv Premiership season with Washington Arubi and Tanzanian international defender Abdulrazack Hamza.
The 37-year-old Arubi joins from relegated Marumo Gallants on a one-year deal with an option of another season. Zimbabwean goalkeeper was part of the Gallants team that reached the CAF Confederation Cup semi-final last season.
“Matsatsantsa are very pleased to confirm the signature of Washington Arubi from Marumo Gallants on a one-year deal with an option to extend,” the club announced on Wednesday.
“And we would like to announce the signature of Tanzanian international defender Abdulrazack Hamza on a one-year contract.”
The well-travelled Arubi is back at the club where he spent the 2018-2019 season, though he failed to make a single appearance.
“Coming back home is one of the best decisions I have made in my football career,” he said in a statement.
“I still believe I have what it takes to compete at the highest level and I’m happy to be back home. I’m looking forward to a great season.”
The 20-year-old Hamza will be expected to plug the gap left in defence after Thatayaone Ditlhokwe’s move Kaizer Chiefs. He also expressed delight at joining Matsatsantsa Pitori.
“I’m excited to join a club and I feel like this a huge opportunity for me to prove myself. I’m looking forward to worm everyone here and to grow as a professional footballer,” he said.
