Former Chiefs duo set to complete Stars switch

Free State Stars have confirmed they are close to concluding deals for former Kaizer Chiefs strikers Edward Manqele and Siphelele Mthembu.


The duo have been training with Ea Lla Koto after they were released by Amakhosi at the end of last season.

They did enough to convince Stars to offer them contracts, and all that is left is for them to sign.
