DStv Premiership: Former Mamelodi Sundowns attacker lands at former club Baroka

The 29-year-old striker became a free agent after his departure from the Brazilians in January.

Motupa was recently training with SuperSport United but was subsequently rejected by Gavin Hunt, who felt the player was a long way from being match-fit.

But he has a chance to regain the form that saw Sundowns sign the player from the now-defunct Bidvest Wits after joining the Motsepe Foundation Championship side.

While Hunt explained his decision not to sign the player, Bakgaga chairman Khurishi Mphahlele welcomed Motupa back with open arms.

“With Gift, we can’t sign him this season. We won’t be able to take him. I’ve spoken to him and he just came to train with us,” Hunt said.

“You know he never had much football action so he’s just trying to get fit with us and we’ll see by May or June which is only two to three months away.”

Mphahlele posted on Twitter: “My son…my son is back.”
