New ABSA Premiership side Baroka FC have signed former Highlanders striker Cleopas Dube from Witbank Spurs, Soccer24 can reveal.

Dube’s signing is part of the team’s preparations for their first season in the PSL.

“I was recently sold to Baroka by Witbank Spurs. I have joined Baroka FC on a three year contract Witbank sold me to Baroka because they were so much interested in me.  Witbank is a good and organised team. I will miss them,” said Dube in an interview from South Africa.

Dube scored 13 goals for “Siyavutha” in the 2015/16 season and finished the NFD campaign as the second top goal scorer behind Baroka’s Thabiso Kutumela.

Baroka, who earned a ticket to Absa Premiership,  may need to replace Kutumela, who is expected to be on his way to Orlando Pirates.

The 26-year-old Zimbabwean has been with Spurs since 2014, having joined the club from Bosso.
