The 32-year old defender, who played all 30 league games for the Rockets last season, joins Matsatsantsa a Pitori on a two-year contract with an option to extend.

SuperSport CEO Stan Matthews has explained why his club signed Sanoka.

“Pogiso brings experience and versatility to our back-line. He has had 2 great seasons at TS Galaxy where he was a key figure in their defensive unit. We are looking to him and our defensive recruits to ensure that we improve our clean sheet and defensive record,” said Matthews.

Sanoka joined Galaxy from Maritzburg United in the 2020/21 season and played over 100 games in his four-year stay at the club.

Last season he helped The Rockets to finish in fifth position on the log and to reach the Carling Black Label Knockout final, where they lost out to Stellenbosch FC.
