13 July 2009

Maritzburg United football club have bolstered up their defensive ranks with the arrival of new signings, Byrone Hendricks and James Madidilane.

The duo joins the Team of Choice from Bidvest Wits and Thanda Royal Zulu respectively.

The Acquisition of these two tough utility defenders will add a lot of steel and experience to the teams defence.

Madidilane has over 40 national u23 caps and has been outstanding at Bloemfontein Celtic and Thanda Royal Zulu and upon the relegation of the latter; United swooped to purchase him out of his contract.

Hendricks is a tough as teak defender who will give United aerial strength and an added advantage at set pieces.
