Mokoena wraps up Wits deal
2012-07-11 12:51
Johannesburg - Former Bafana Bafana skipper Aaron Mokoena has reportedly completed his proposed move from Portsmouth to Bidvest Wits.
The no-nonsense centre-back has been involved in a protracted
transfer saga with Pompey and the Students, the former having stalled
over financial compensation due to the 12 months remaining on his deal
in England.
However, the two clubs appear to have reached an agreement, with
Paul Mitchell of Siyavuma Sports, the company that tied up the deal,
claiming all paperwork has been filed, and that the 31-year-old is now
officially a Clever Boy.
"Yes, Aaron is a Wits player and today he went to training to meet the staff and players," Mitchell is quoted as saying in The New Age.
Mokoena becomes Wits' sixth signing of the off-season, with
Mbulelo Mabizela, Tlou Molekwane, Matthew Pattison, Ayo Oluwafemi and
Thokozani Mshengu all having signed on over the last few weeks.
