Ajax Cape Town have concluded the signing of centreback Isaac Nhlapo from Platinum Stars.

The 26-year-old‚ 1‚81-metre defender has been signed on a free transfer following a successful medical assessment‚ the club said.

In a statement on their official website‚ Ajax said: “Ajax Cape Town have officially completed the signing of towering defender Isaac Nhlapo.

“The burly centre-back penned a pre-contractual agreement with the Urban Warriors in January and has now finalized all documents in preparation for the 2017-18 season.

“Nhlapo joins Ajax Cape Town from fellow Premier Soccer League (PSL) side Platinum Stars. The 26-year-old joined Dikwena in 2014 following a spell with National First Division (NFD) champions Thanda Royal Zulu.

“‘Lion’ – as he is affectionately referred to by his former teammates – joins new signing Sedwyn George and Leo Thethani ‚who graduated from the club’s Youth Academy last week‚ as the new faces in our PSL squad.”

Nhlapo‚ who joined Stars from First Division Thanda Royal Zulu in 2014‚ made 11 appearances in all competitions for the Rustenburg-based squad in the past season.
