Gaborone giants, Township Rollers, on Saturday unveiled 10 new faces to their already strong squad in front of multitudes of supporters who attended the club’s season launch at Royal Aria.

Among some of the most prominent names is Mothusi Cooper, who joined the club from city rivals, Gaborone United (GU). The midfielder is expected to fill the void left by Phenyo Serameng who joined Sua Flamingoes. Cooper is not new to the Rollers’ environment after donning the blue and gold jersey a few seasons ago. The club also introduced former Orapa United duo, Lemogang Maswena and Tapiwa Nyamanjiva. Maswena was among the players who were released by the Ostriches at the end of last season.

He joined Rollers on a season-long loan. His arrival is also a boost for Rollers since he can play both as a midfielder and a centre back. Rollers have also added fire power upfront with the signing of Namibian striker, Ambrosius Amseb who has previously played for Masitaoka. Other players who were unveiled on Saturday are Simon Bapaletswe (defender) from Nico United, Botshelo Mangena (left back) from Police XI, Christopher Lemme (striker) from Security Systems, Onkemetse Makhura (defensive midfielder) from Newdon in South Africa as well as Temo Segopolo (midfielder) from Premier Stars. Rollers have also ring some changes in the technical team with Mogomotsi Mpote leading the pack.
