Banyana Banyana star Linda Motlhalo has rejoined one of her former sides in Europe, and the playmaker has expressed her delight at returning to what she calls her "second home". Here's a look.
The Story
Earlier this month, United States Women's National Soccer League club Racing Louisville FC confirmed the termination of their contract with Motlhalo by mutual consent.
This came after the player made just three appearances for the club across all competitions.

The 26-year-old made a brief return to her native South Africa while a free agent and trained with former Banyana captain Janine van Wyk's side, the JVW Academy.
Not long after, Motlhalo was announced as a new player at Glasgow City FC, a club she has previously represented in the Scottish women's top flight.
Glasgow City released an interview with Motlhalo on YouTube on Monday, with the South African playmaker opening up about her emotional return to Europe.
"I'm so happy to be back, this place brings back a lot of great memories," she said.
"Glasgow will always be like a second home. When I first left, Leanne and all the staff said if you ever want to come back, this will always be home. I didn't even think twice when they called to say I could come back. When that happened, I told my agent that's where I'm going.
"I've come at a time when it's really hectic, and I've just come in from off-season, so it's going to be demanding for me to catch up. But I've been watching the games, and I like the direction where the team is going."
She added, "I've been training with Janine (van Wyk) at the JVW Academy. She's been really helping me stay in shape. From the start of my relationship with Glasgow City, she has always been there for me, and even now, I really appreciate her."
