Fothoane scored an impressive 17 goals in the first round of Lesotho's Vodacom Premier League before catching the eye of record league champions, Township Rollers. The Blues paid P100,000 (approximately M133,382) to Bantu FC for the services of the goal scoring midfielder for two and a half years. As per reports, Bantu FC had rejected the offer but had to concede as the player sought a move abroad. Nicknamed '4-2-1', Fothoane arrived at Rollers amidst much fanfare and made his debut in a 2-0 defeat to Orapa United. He made another second half appearance against BDF XI and went on to score his first goal in his first start in a 3-1 defeat to Morupule Wanderers. Over the weekend, Fothoane played a part in the final goal as Rollers beat BDF XI 3-1 to end the weekend at the summit of the log.
The midfielder had his shot blocked and South African winger, Lefa Leballo scored from the rebound with his first goal of the club. Fothoane told MmegiSport that he has been working hard since the start of the season and he is gradually settling at Rollers. He said he is starting to gel with the team and understand the coach's methods and also the way Rollers play. The Lesotho international said it would take him the first five to six games to settle well with the rest of the Rollers' squad. "From the games I have played, I would like to say this is a continuation from the season I have played back home in Lesotho. For now, I am just trying to pick up where I left off back home and my goal for the season is to continue doing well and I can do so if I work harder," Fothoane said. He has been described as a creative and skillful midfielder with massive goal scoring abilities. At Rollers he has been used in the playmaker role just behind the main striker. He will compete for a starting berth with, amongst others, Rollers' icons, Segolame Boy and Mogakolodi Ngele.
