Rhoda Mulaudzi, Jermaine Seoposenwe and Nothando Vilakazi will be playing in Europe’s most prestigious tournament at club level in the upcoming campaign.

“This is just great news. We have always said that we need players that will consistently play at the high level so we can be able to compete with the top footballing nations when we get to a competition like the World Cup,” said Banyana Banyana head coach Desiree Ellis.

“I would like to congratulate Rhoda on her move to Cyprus as this augurs well for the national team, the more players we have abroad the better for Banyana Banyana. This now brings to seven regular Banyana Banyana players playing abroad, Leandra (Sweden), Ode (Spain), Linda and Thembi (both China) as well as Nothando and Jermaine (both Lithuania) also not forgetting the likes of Amo (Amogelang Motau) and Nomvula Kgoale (both USA),”added Ellis.
