MOSEAMEDI JOINS
MARITZBURG UNITED have captured the signature of Judas Moseamedi, on loan from Cape Town City.
Independent Media was reliably informed by a source at United that Moseamedi is now in the books of the Team of Choice.
“Maritzburg United have signed Judas. The new coach Muhsin Ertugral has been desperately searching for the striker. That is one of the positions which he identified when he arrived at the club,” a source said.
United have struggled in front of goals this season. Before their clash against Free State Stars, the club had netted five goals in 15 league appearances.
They are the lowest scoring side in the league so far this season. Moseamedi worked with Ertugral at Mpumalanga Black Aces. He is not one of the most prolific finishers but will always gives more than 100%.
United chairman, Farook Kadodia, confirmed that they have signed Moseamedi on a loan deal from Cape Town City.
“Yes it is true that he is now with us. He will start training tomorrow (today). He is a good striker. They know each other with the coach. We are hopeful that he will give us goals upfront. One of our major problems has been scoring goals,” Kadodia said.
United are still missing the services of Ivorian striker Yannick Zakri who is set to face a disciplinary committee when he comes back.
“I’m still looking for one more striker and the winger. We’ve been playing defensive football and that’s why we have struggled for goals,” Kadodia elaborated.
Ertugral has already bolstered his squad with the acquisition of the hardtackling midfielder, Mpho Matsi, who made his debut this past weekend in the KwaZulu-Natal derby defeat against Lamontville Golden Arrows at Sugar Ray Xulu Stadium in Clermont.
The side based in the KZN Midlands have found the going tough this season after finishing fourth and reaching the Nedbank Cup final last season under the tenure of the recently departed Fadlu Davids.
