SuperSport United have continued to bolster their squad after capturing the services of forward Risen Albert.

The 21-year-old joins Matsatsantsa from ABC Motsepe League outfit Highlands Park after putting pen to paper on a two-year contract with an option to renew.

Matsatsantsa coach Gavin Hunt insists that Albert will give his side more options in attack and is expecting good things from the young forward.

“We signed Risen Albert from Highlands Park who is totally different from what we got upfront,” Hunt told his club’s official website.

“He certainly can give us three options upfront by playing different ways across the front and has big pace, can play with his shoulder all the time and he is certainly different from what we got and we are expecting exciting things from him in the future.”

Risen is excited to be joining Matsatsantsa and is relishing the chance to hit the ground running at his new club.

“First of all I would like to thank the Lord above who has blessed me with my first professional contract,” Risen said.

“I am very excited, and I feel like this is a huge opportunity for me to prove myself. I am looking forward to working with everyone.”
