Guimaraes confirmed Foster’s signing on their official website on Thursday.

“Vitória Sport Clube, Futebol SAD announces that it has reached an agreement with AS Monaco for the transfer of Lyle Foster, who signs a contract valid for the next five sports seasons,” read the club statement.

Guimaraes is the same club that signed Bongani Zungu from Mamelodi Sundowns in 2016. Zungu has since moved on to Amiens in France, but the Bafana midfielder is linked with a move to Scottish side Rangers.

Other South Africa players who have played for Guimaraes are Thibang Phethe and Haashim Domingo.
