The growing list of newcomers to Wairarapa United's Central League football squad has been extended after a leading South African player sought to join the club through a popular internet site.
Thabiso Tleane, 23, used Facebook to advise Wairarapa United of his availability should they be interested and after a thorough check of his curriculum vitae coach Phil Keinzley gave him the green light.
"He should be a big asset to us," Keinzley said of the tall central midfielder who is expected to arrive in Wairarapa this Friday.
"He's got a reputation of being a hard-nosed player with good defensive and attacking skills ... he's scored 15 goals in the South African national league so he's obviously no mug in that department."
