Head coach, Gavin Hunt added: “The signing of ‘Tyson’ is a wonderful addition for the club and he comes with a lot of experience. He was the Bafana Bafana captain as well as my captain at Bidvest Wits, we won trophies together and he’s definitely ready to get working and to get going again. It’s a huge opportunity for him and for us at the club.” 

Hlatshwayo worked with Hunt at Bidvest Wits between 2014 and 2020, winning the league title as well as the Telkom-Knock Out trophy. He’s made over 300 domestic appearances and captained Bafana Bafana with just over 30 caps under his belt.

He did win a MTN8 trophy at Pirates, but was released ahead of the new season after an overall tough spell at Orlando Stadium.
