Marumo Gallants have bolstered their squad with the signing of three new players ahead of the re-start of the Betway Premiership having seen two exit to Orlando Pirates.

Gallants lost Zimbabwe international winger Daniel Msendami and left-back Mpho Chabatsane in this window, but have moved swiftly to replace them.

The club have signed Ivorian striker Romaric Dognimin Ouattara from Algerian Ligue 1 club Olympique Akbou to add goals to their attack.

They have also roped in Zambian forward Emmanuel Mwiinde, who previously played for several clubs in the United Arab Emirates, and the likes of Nkana FC, Zanaco and Forest Rangers in his homeland.

Gallants coach Alexandre Lafitte has more attacking power in the form of former AmaZulu winger Msindisi Kunene.

Gallants, who lost the Carling Knockout final to Pirates in December, begin the second half of the season away at TS Galaxy next Wednesday.

They are currently four points above the relegation play-off position.
