Masalesa on move

Black Leopards are close to signing former Orlando Pirates midfielder Lehlogonolo Masalesa (below) who is said to have impressed new coach Dylan Kerr while on trial. If he is signed, Masalesa can start playing immediately as he is a free agent. “He did well and fits the profile of the central midfielder the coach wanted. He is likely to be signed because Leopards are unlikely now to get (Meshack) Maphangule on loan from Pirates since they have registered him for the Caf Champions League,” said the source. Leopards were said to be looking to land Maphangule back on loan from Pirates as he was not being used but he has since been playing, especially in the Champions League.
