FC Platinum is totally reloading after their longtime coach bounced, snagging nine new guys for this year’s season. The club brought in former Highlanders midfielder McKinnon Mushore, who just became a free agent. He follows his old gaffer, Joel Luphahla, over from Simba Bhora. Several other domestic players joined the roster, like defenders and midfielders from lower-tier sides.
Their foreign haul looks pretty extensive for the local league. New faces hail from Namibia, Ghana, Malawi, and Cameroon. These four international signings show the team is spending to chase another title. The Cameroonian addition is a keeper, shoring up that position.
Behind the scenes, the new coach installed his own crew. A fresh goalkeepers coach and a fitness specialist were appointed. They even hired a set-piece analyst, which feels like a next-level move for the PSL. This overhaul signals a serious push from the platinum-backed squad.
The moves come after Norman Mapeza’s long era ended. Luphahla seems to be putting his stamp on the team fast. With these signings, expectations around the club will be sky-high. Fans are probably wondering if this mix can gel quickly enough for a championship run.
