A PSL club whose season ended in disappointing fashion is already plotting for the next campaign, with at least three players already secured on pre-contracts.
Baroka FC failed to secure a play-offs spot, instead finishing eighth, and will have to try again next season.

It would have been with that in mind that the Motsepe Foundation Championship outfit has gone out to secure the signatures of three players from the division lower.
The new players were on the books Ditlou FC, who are based in Marble Hall, and they are Tshepo Mothiba, Harizon Seoka, and Tetelo Lekwatsipa.
The trio have impressed the club and are expected to join Dan Malesela's squad when the team reconvenes in preparation for next season.
After failing to secure a play-offs spot themselves, the Limpopo ABC Motsepe League Stream B club has shifted its focus to player development.
As Ditlou FC are an amateur club, their players will be free agents at the end of the season.
"Tshepo Mothiba is joining us for this assignment as he has weight issues. The other two players, Harizon Seoka, a defender, and Tetelo Lekwatsipa, a midfielder, will also be signed shortly," club chairman Khurishi Mphahlele explains, exclusively to KickOff.com.

With only 41 points collected over 30 matches, Baroka will be looking to at least go back to the heights of the season prior, where they finished in a play-offs spot.
This marks a significant drop compared to their play-off finish last season.
