Marumo in early Egypt exit

Marumo has come back prematurely after the EPL banned foreign goalkeepers from plying their trade in Egypt earlier than expected. Initially, the EPL said foreign goalkeepers will leave at the end of their contracts but this was changed to the end of January. Marumo's deal with Haras El-Hodood was due to expire at the end of the current season but the former BDF XI star was ordered to leave at the end of last month.

The Zebras' skipper, who arrived in the country last week, has been drafted into the squad preparing for the African Championships (CHAN). The Zebras will host Bafana Bafana in the first round qualifier during the weekend of March 12-13 before travelling to South Africa for the return leg two weeks later.
