Maphathe was snapped up by Spurs with the hope of helping them survive relegation, though he was unable to aid them avoid the drop.
The Urban Warriors managed to collect 19 points after signing the Botshabelo-born man, but despite collecting so many points, they couldn’t survive relegation as they finished 16th with 23 points, seven points behind 15th-placed Natal Rich Boyz.
Maphathe is currently with the Team of Choice and will pen a deal that will see him at the club until June 2025. The aim is to help Maritzburg gain promotion to the Betway Premiership.
