Bantu FC has confirmed the possibility of their midfielder, Lehlohonolo Fothoane, securing a move to Botswana Premier League giants, Township Rollers.
In an interview with LENA on Thursday, Bantu FC’s Public Relations Officer (PRO), Mr. Poosela Pule, revealed that Fothoane is currently undergoing a three-day trial with the Botswana side. He departed for Botswana on Monday and is expected to return to Lesotho on Friday.
A Chance to Shine
Fothoane’s trial with Township Rollers presents a significant opportunity for the talented midfielder to showcase his skills on a larger platform. Speaking on the matter, Pule said, “It is true that Fothoane is attending trials in Botswana. However, this does not affect his immediate availability for the team. He will return in time for our Sunday fixture against Matlama.”
Bantu’s Confidence in Fothoane
Fothoane has been a crucial player for Bantu FC, and while his potential departure would be a loss for the club, the management has expressed pride in his progress. Pule noted that the team is supportive of Fothoane’s ambitions and will respect any decisions made following the trial period.
Rollers Eyeing Talent
Township Rollers, one of Botswana’s most successful football clubs, has a history of recruiting top talent from the region. Fothoane’s addition to their squad could further strengthen their midfield and enhance their chances in both domestic and continental competitions.
What’s Next?
For now, Fothoane remains focused on his trial, with a final decision expected in the coming weeks. In the meantime, his return will bolster Bantu’s squad as they prepare for their highly anticipated clash against rivals Matlama on Sunday.
Bantu fans will be watching closely as developments unfold, with hopes that Fothoane’s next step, whether in Lesotho or abroad, brings success to his career.
