TS Galaxy has confirmed that winger Aphelele Teto has joined Scottish Premier League (SPL) side Livingston FC.
The 20-year-old was promoted to the Rockets’ first team during the 2021-22 season and has since taken the league by storm.
During his time with the Rockets Teto has registered two assists in 19 appearances across all competitions.
Teto is now set to become the second player from the PSL to make the move to Europe in this current transfer window after Kaizer Chiefs defender Siyabonga Ngezana joined Romanian outfit FCSB.
“We are quite pleased by the interest shown in Teto by Livingston. It is not so often that a South African youngster signs with a UK-based club,” said Galaxy chairman Tim Sukazi in a statement released by the club.
“Teto caught the eye of Livingston head coach David Martindale during our pre-season training camp in Turkey in December last year when our club played against Giresunspor.
“As the first South African team to hold a training camp in Europe, the jury has been out as to what would be the benefits of such an adventure. I am happy that our country now realises that such an initiative could give a lifetime opportunity to players among other things.
We bid farwell to Aphelele Teto. We thank you for all the memories and the glory you brought to the club, and we pray for your success in this new chapter of your career with @LiviFCOfficial ❤️🚀@aQuelle @aQuelleViV#Siyadumuza #TheRockets #TSG pic.twitter.com/redx8XJBqC
