Injury forces Tshireletso into early retirement

“It is true he will not play again. The doctors have advised that his injury can never heal completely and therefore has to hang his boots. Apparently there is a gap in his knee and the doctors say that gap can never close,” Rollers spokesperson, Bafana Pheto said yesterday.

He said they had thought the injury had healed only for it to recur before they left for pre-season camp in Rustenburg in June. Tshireletso will now join head coach, Mark Harrison and Teenage Mpote on the bench as one of the assistant coaches.
