Chippa United have announced the signings of Kurt Lentjies and Puleng Tlolane to bolster their attack for the 2017-18 Absa Premiership season.

The Chilli Boys have strengthened their squad by bringing in two players with a wealth of experience between them, with Lentjies having captained Maritzburg United and Tlolane arriving from Polokwane City.

Chippa chairman Siviwe Mpengesi has confirmed the deals for the duo, while also insisting that he is in the process of looking for experienced coaches to joins Dan Malesela’s technical team.

‘At Chippa we are busy signing players that we think are needed in the team,’ Mpengesi told The Sowetan.

‘We are also working on strengthening our technical team in terms of getting coach Dan Malesela an experienced assistant coach and a proper structure.

‘Even though we have not officially announced it, we have already clinched contracts with two new players in Kurt Lentjies and Puleng Tlolane. There are also other players I will announce soon.’

Mpengesi has also revealed that he is interested in bringing back former captain James Okwuosa to the club, who joined the Soweto giants during the January transfer window.

‘Chippa supporters have been questioning if my decision to let James Okwuosa join Orlando Pirates was correct,’ he added.

‘James only played one game for Pirates. He is still contracted to them, but he has been calling us, pleading with us to talk with Pirates to bring him back. Those are some of the things that I have been working on.’
