Following his release by Kaizer Chiefs ahead of the 2017/18 season, striker Siphelele Mthembu was snapped up by Free State Stars. The 30-year-old is a talented and experienced attacker who will be a major boost to Ea Lla Koto's forward options. He struggled to find his feet at Chiefs, but made a name for himself as a fine goal scorer in his years at Platinum Stars.
