Boost for Lioli

Lioli have strengthened their squad with the signing of midfielder Sello Japhta from Lifofane.nnJaphta was declared a free agent after a contractual dispute with Lifofane was resolved through the Lesotho Football Association. The former Orlando Pirates and Free State Stars player helped Lifofane finish second in the Vodacom Premier League last season and won the Most Improved Player and Midfielder of the Season awards. Lioli will pay an undisclosed deferred compensation fee, with the club saying Japhta can be registered despite the transfer window having closed because he is a free agent.
