Bloemfontein Celtic have completed their signings for the new season on the last day of the transfer window by snatching Siphelele Mthembu and Lennox Bacela on season long loan deals from Orlando Pirates and Santos, respectively.
Celtic have looked thin upfront this past season and the arrival of the two strikers will strengthen that department and hopefully bring in the goals that they have been struggling to score in the two official games that they have played to date.
Celtic CEO Ikie Augousti confirms to KickOff.com that they have signed the two players.
"We have both Bacela and Mthembu on loan for the season. Since the deals are being done today we expect them to join us tomorrow in Bloemfontein. These two last minute signings are the last for us," says Augousti.
The writing has been on the wall for Mthembu's move as he has become excess baggage at Pirates this season. If he had stayed he would still have not played much as happened last season.
Apparently Maritzburg United had also shown interest earlier on in Mthembu.
Bacela will also widen Celtic's options upfront.
