Newly-promoted Premiership side Baroka have announced they will keep hold of midfielder Jacky Motshegwa next term.

Motshegwa joined the club from Orlando Pirates on a loan deal last term and proved a crucial component of the side’s midfield as they finished top of the National First Division.

Now, the club has revealed the defensive midfielder will remain with the side for a second stint, this time in the Premiership.

‘The club has reached an agreement with Pirates to retain on-loan Jacky Motshegwa for the rest of the season,’ read a statement on the club’s Twitter page.
