Stars sign Joshua Sauls

 Platinum Stars have completed the signing of striker Joshua Sauls on a three-year contract.

The 25-year-old arrives from newly-promoted Chippa United having been one of the leading marksmen for the Cape Town club in their promotion push last season.

He had joined Chippa midway through the season from Gauteng side FC AK, and managed to net 12 goals in the campaign to finish behind Chippa teammate Petrus Ngebo (14 goals) in the National First Division goalscoring stakes.

Sauls will add to the attacking options of Dikwena, which already includes Henrico Botes, 

Themba Ntumba, Thabani Mthembu and Patrick Malokase.

Sauls is the sixth signing made by Stars in this transfer window and follows hot on the heals of the capture of experienced Bafana Bafana international Benson Mhlongo on Tuesday.

Others to have arrived include national Under-20 star Mthembu (Young Mates), Botswana international winger Mogakolodi Ngele (Township Rollers, Botswana), and midfielders 

Bongani Nyathi (Free State Stars) and Benson Mhlongo (Orlando Pirates).

Patrick Malokase has also been signed on a permanent basis from Pirates after a successful six-month loan in the second half of last season.
