Maritzburg United have officially welcomed former Bafana Bafana duo Rowen Fernandez and Delron Buckley to their technical team.

Buckley will serve as an assistant coach to Eric Tinkler, while Fernandez has been appointed as the club’s new goalkeeper-coach for the new season.

The former Bafana Bafana duo will add a wealth of experience to the club after signing a two-year contract.

Team of Choice chairman Farook Kadodia is delighted to have secured the services of Buckley and Fernandez.

‘We would like to welcome Rowen and Delron to our club and to Pietermaritzburg. As players they both enjoyed immense experience, having played in Europe and for the senior national team, Bafana Bafana,’ the chairman told his club’s official website.

‘As ambitious and energetic up-and-coming coaches, we are confident that their experience and coaching ability will be a big asset to our club. The two appointments were made in consultation with head coach Eric Tinkler and we expect that they will slot in seamlessly into our technical team.’

Maritzburg are currently busy with pre-season training as they prepare for the upcoming Premier Soccer League (PSL) season.
