ECCO City Greens’ Tendai Nyumasi, Township Rollers left back, Edwin Olerile and Mochudi Centre Chiefs midfielder, Lesego Galenamotlhale are now on their way for trials with Durban First Division outfit, Royal Eagles. 

“The FC Cape Town technical team decided against signing the players after an assessment. From what I saw, the players lacked match fitness and they were not able to show their maximum ability. You will have to realise that they have not been active for sometime since the end of the league,” their agent, Comfort Ramatebele of Glamour Sports has said. Nyumasi might however, be called again for future assessment as he showed promise. 

At Royal Eagles, the players will be under David Bright who was hired last week. The Botswana coach is a keen admirer of Nyumasi. Last week, he told the local media that he will call a few Botswana players for trials at his new club.

The likes of Boitumelo Mafoko, Moemedi Moatlhaping and Modiri Marumo are some of Botswana players who were signed by Bright during his time with South African clubs Cape Town Santos and Bay United now Polokwane City.
