Bidvest Wits have announced the signing of a young winger in the form of Kgaogelo Sekgota who joins from Portugal’s Vitoria Setubal.
According to a statement released by the club on Saturday, Wits COO Jonathan Schloss welcomed the youngster, saying they are excited to bring him on board.
The 22-year-old has already tasted top-flight football in Europe and will look to help coach Gavin Hunt’s side challenge for the Premier Soccer League (PSL).
“We’re obviously delighted to welcome the 22-year-old to our club. He’s a young and exciting prospect whom we believe will go on to represent Bafana Bafana in due course,” Schloss told Wits‘ official website.
“At 18 years old he has already played at the highest level in Europe playing for Portuguese Premier League side Setubal. Bidvest Wits FC enjoys a very good relationship with Setubal, and it is with these relationships that our club continues to trade players at the very highest level in European football.”
The young South African midfielder secured a move to Portuguese outfit Vin 2018 when the Primeira Liga side snapped up the 21-year-old attacker from Lithuanian club FC Stumbras on a permanent deal.
In addition, the former Polokwane United academy product helped Stumbras win the Lithuanian Cup for the first time in 2017.
Meanwhile, he only made seven appearances for the Portuguese giants in the current season across all competitions and will look to make his name in the PSL.
