Gaborone United (GU)'s pursuit of Mochudi Centre Chiefs' goalkeeper Noah Maposa has taken a new twist following claims by Chiefs that he instructed them not to release his registration book.

The Reds this week confirmed that the Zebras' number two goalkeeper, Maposa, has sealed a two-year deal. While the player signed as a free agent after his contract with Chiefs expired, sources within the corridors of the Kgatleng giants' club have disclosed that Maposa had verbally agreed to extend his deal after receiving a signing-on fee of P40,000 recently.

"He actually agreed to a new deal and was given P40,000 as a signing on fee, but was to sign the contract at a later date. He kept delaying and now we hear he has signed for GU as a free agent," said the source. Chiefs' chairman Ernest Molome told Mmegi Sport that Maposa had instructed them to keep his Blue Book.

His book is still with us and until we release it to GU he still belongs to us.  That he signed a contract (is immaterial because) he can terminate the contract. But we are saying 'for now the book is with us' and he should write a letter to us if he wants to go to GU, but he told us to hold on to the book," Molome told Mmegi Sport.
