SuperSport United have landed the services of Pogiso Sanoka, who started in all 30 league matches for TS Galaxy last season.
Having he himself just signed on the dotted line on a new two-year contract after his future became the subject of interest towards the end of last season, head coach Gavin Hunt has embarked on a recruitment drive.

This, in preparation of next season, where Matsatsantsa will hope to put on a better fight than the seventh place they finished in on the DStv Premiership standings last term.
To that end, Sanoka, a centre-back well worth his weight in gold, has been brought in to make sure the backdoor is well and truly shut.
The 32-year-old is one of the most highly rated defenders in the league, often receiving praise from Galaxy coach Sead Ramovic last season, together with his now former centre-back partner Macbeth Mahlangu.
On Thursday, SuperSport took to their official social media pages to announce the arrival of Sanoka, who is expected to form a rock-solid wall alongside the likes of Thulani Hlatshwayo and Ime Okon in the heart of the side's defence.
Age may no longer be on his side, but Sanoka evidently is a player Hunt believes he can get the best out of for the next couple of years, with his preference for the old guard well-known.
"He's a Spartan! Welcome home, Pogiso! wrote the club, as a caption to a video reveal of their newest signing.

"Its a privilege to join this beautiful club. I would obviously like to win more trophies with Matsatsantsa. It feels good being a Spartan!", Sanoka is quoted as saying.
SuperSport were said to be eyeing the services of Tandi Mwape, a Zambian centre-back who was previously with TP Mazembe, but with the former Rockets man having joined, it remains to be seen if the former will still be needed after all.
