Township Rollers have been dealt a great blow after the Players' Status Committee (PSC) ordered that they release their disgruntled winger, Sekhana 'Nandos' Koko to bitter rivals Mochudi Centre Chiefs.

After resigning from Rollers last month, the club claimed that Koko had a contract with them and refused to release him to join Magosi. Rollers were said to be arguing that if they let Koko go, Chiefs would have to pay them a reasonable transfer fee. On the other hand, the player claimed that his contract expired on January 17, hence there was no need for Rollers to block him.

The matter was taken to the PSC and during their sitting this week, it was ruled that Rollers have no reason to prevent the player from joining a club of his choice. Premier League Committee (PLC) secretary Setete Phuthego confirmed to Mmegi Sport yesterday that Rollers have been ordered to release the player. He did not go into further details.
