Durban City FC has completed the signings of four players as the club prepares for its inaugural Betway Premiership campaign. The new additions bring top-flight experience and fresh energy to the squad ahead of Sunday’s historic opener against TS Galaxy at Mbombela Stadium.
Jean Lwamba Arrives from Botswana
Congolese forward Jean Lwamba joins from Tafic FC in Botswana on a two-year agreement. The 25-year-old enjoyed a strong debut season in the Botswana Premier League, scoring 15 goals and earning the league’s Player of the Season recognition. His arrival provides another attacking option for head coach Gavin Hunt.
Midfield Reinforcements
The club has secured two experienced campaigners from Cape Town City. Thabo Nodada, 30, brings over 200 Premiership appearances to central midfield, while versatile attacker Haashim Domingo (29) offers creative quality honed during spells with Mamelodi Sundowns, Bidvest Wits, and Morocco’s Raja CA.
Young Defender Added
Kyle Jurgens, a 21-year-old right-back, completes the signings. A product of Stellenbosch FC’s development system, Jurgens has already made 51 senior appearances since his 2023 debut.
Club chairman Farook Kadodia commented: “We’re pleased to welcome these players at an important moment for the club. Their different qualities and experiences will be valuable as we begin this new chapter.”
These new signings join the likes of defender Liam De Kock, goalkeepers Darren Keet and Frederik Asare, as well as midfield duo Trevor Mokwena and Brooklyn Poggenpoel who were unveiled by the club last month.
The new signings have settled in during preseason preparations that included a strong showing in the KZN Premier’s Cup and a focused training camp in Johannesburg. As Durban City prepares for its first top-flight match, the bolstered squad reflects the club’s measured approach to Premiership football.
