Cape Town City have confirmed the signing of promising striker Diego Appollis from Chippa United.
The 19-year-old caught the eyes of City following his impressive performance in the Multichoice Diski Challenge (MDC) during the 2019-20 season.
However, Appollis has since joined the Citizens after putting pen to paper on a three-year contract to help strengthen coach Jan Olde Riekerink’s squad for the upcoming season.
A club statement read: ‘The club is delighted to announce the signing of 19-year-old striker Diego Appollis from Chippa United.
‘He signs a 3-year deal with City after a phenomenal breakout season in the MDC. The next generation is here, welcome Diego.’
