Milford FC confirm four new signings ahead of Betway Premiership debut

After securing promotion through the PSL promotion/relegation playoffs, the KwaZulu-Natal outfit has moved swiftly in the transfer market, announcing four new additions as they look to build a squad capable of competing at the highest level.

Milford confirmed the arrivals of goalkeeper Sanele Mthembu, attacking midfielder Thabang Mabena, central midfielder Yanelisa Nomandela and defender Mnqobi Mbhele.

"The club is pleased to welcome these four players, and we wish them all the best," the club wrote on their website.

Mthembu joins from ABC Motsepe League side Mkhambathi, a club familiar to Milford after several friendly encounters between the teams in recent years, including a meeting in last season's Nedbank Cup. His arrival adds further competition and depth in the goalkeeping department.

Nomandela arrives after ending his spell with Highbury FC at the conclusion of last season. The midfielder is expected to bring composure and control in the middle of the park at a time when Milford could face interest in some of their standout performers from promotion.

In attack, Milford have turned to former Black Leopards midfielder Mabena, who has built a reputation as one of the promising creative talents in the lower divisions.

Meanwhile, Mbhele makes the move from ABC Motsepe League outfit Sinenkani. Milford described the defender as a strong and dependable figure at the back as they continue assembling a squad for the demands of Premiership football.

The club's early activity signals clear intent as they prepare for life among South Africa's elite clubs.
