Kamohelo Mokotjo will be on trial at FC Twente from next week, reports TC Tubantia. The thirty-year-old midfielder is without a club after his contract with the American FC Cincinnati was dissolved in November. Mokotjo is no stranger to FC Twente, as he was already active in Enschede between 2014 and 2017.
Mokotjo will be medically examined next Thursday and if that does not cause any problems, he will start training at FC Twente from next week. “Maybe it will be one hundred percent, and maybe not. We are in no rush, because he has no contract. We are going to look at it calmly”, technical director Jan Streuer responds in conversation with TC Tubantia.
FC Twente already has three players with Ramiz Zerrouki, Michal Sadilek and Wout Brama who can handle Mokotjo’s position. “But we don’t know how they are going to continue with a view to next season,” emphasizes Streuer. “That remains to be seen. Mokotjo is a good player, and we will now see how fit he is.”
Feyenoord brought Mokotjo in 2009 from the South African Supersport United to the Netherlands. The 23-time South African international played 38 games for Feyenoord in four years – with the exception of a season that he spent on a rental basis at Excelsior, before moving to PEC Zwolle. FC Twente removed him from there in 2014 and in the three years that followed, he made 105 official matches for the Tukkers. He then ended up at Cincinnati via England’s Brentford, where his contract was terminated in November.
