Dammam — Al-Ettifaq FC has strengthened its defensive line by signing South African goalkeeper Mohau Nkota, the Saudi Pro League side announced on Wednesday.
The transfer, completed ahead of the January window, sees the former Orlando Pirates goalie join a growing list of international talents at the Dammam-based outfit.
Club officials hailed Nkota’s signing on a three-year contract as part of their strategy to build depth for domestic and potential continental competitions.
“Nkota brings experience and leadership to our backline,” said an Al-Ettifaq spokesperson.
“His arrival will enhance competition and help us push for higher finishes in the league.”
Nkota expressed excitement about the challenge in the competitive Saudi league.
Al-Ettifaq, currently mid-table, aims to climb the standings with recent reinforcements.
