Black Leopards have strengthened their squad with the acquisition of both Edwin Gyimah and Thobani Mncwango on free transfers.

Former Ghana international Gyimah has been on trial at both Highlands Park and AmaZulu over the last months but Leopards have snapped him up to strengthen both their defence and midfield.

Mncwango returns to Limpopo Province after being released by Bidvest Wits at the end of last season.

Wits were also the last club for the 28-year-old Gyimah, who made only one start for them last season.

He has also played at SuperSport United, Mpumalanga Black Aces, Orlando Pirates and had one season in Sweden with Helsingborg.

Mncwango, 31, joined Wits at the start of 2018 after a dispute at Polokwane City, where he had been a prolific scorer. But in 18 months at Wits he never started a game.

Both could feature for the first time this weekend when Leopards play SuperSport United away at Atteridgeville on Friday night.
