Former Bafana Bafana midfielder Rivaldo Coetzee could be the next South African player to play in Tanzania this coming season.
Rushin De Reuck made a surprise move to Simba SC, following a short stint in Israel.
KickOff can reveal that the Tanzanian side is now believed to be targeting Coetzee to reinforce their squad ahead of the new season.
The former Ajax Cape Town defender is currently a free agent after parting ways with Mamelodi Sundowns during the off-season. Coetzee spent eight years at Chloorkop after joining the Brazilians in 2017 from Ajax Cape Town.
