DStv Premiership side Cape Town City FC have bolstered their squad by signing former Leicester City midfielder Khanya Leshabela.
The club announced the arrival of Leshabela via their official social media accounts on Monday, 19 February.
“The club is delighted to confirm the signing of Khanya Leshabela. The 24-year-old South African midfielder joins the Citizens as Coach Eric [Tinkler] looks to bolster his squad for the season ahead, the club said.”
Leshabela, who was born in Soshanguve but grew up in England, came through the development ranks at the English club, though only made one appearance in the English Premier League for the Foxes.
He also enjoyed loan spells at Shrewsbury Town and Crewe Alexandria.
Fullview understands Leshabela will be registered this week, and could even be part of the match squad when City face SuperSport United in the Nedbank Cup round of 32 match.
