BETWAY PREMIERSHIP

- SMISO MSOMI

WITH the 2025/26 Betway Premiership season fast approaching, clubs across the country are looking for smart acquisitions.

A handful of players have now become available for various reasons, including relegation, being out of favour, or release.

The five topping that list, all with topflight experience, could represent bargain signings for clubs seeking depth, creativity or leadership in the new campaign.

1. Monnapule Saleng (Out of favour at Orlando Pirates)

Barely two seasons ago, Monnapule Saleng was tipped as one of the most dangerous wingers in the Premier Soccer League and a key Bafana Bafana prospect.

Now, after falling out of favour at Orlando Pirates, the 27-year-old’s future remains uncertain.

With game time limited under previous coach José Riveiro and questions over his fitness under new boss Abdeslam Ouaddou, a loan or permanent move could revive his career.
