Magesi is the newest PSL side, as confirmed by the tweet below:

Speaking to FARPost, Magesi chairman Solly Makhubela was pleased his side achieved the goal they set themselves at the start of the season.

Makhubela said:

"I listen to them [coach Larsen and his staff], and where I need to suggest, I do so, but the final decision comes from the management and the coach. Not just me. The mandate was for them to win the league via straight promotion, not the playoffs.”

Last season, Polokwane earned promotion to the PSL and the side have done well, as they currently sit ninth on the log level with Mzansi giants Kaizer Chiefs.

While next season will be a first for Magesi, it marks a PSL return for coach Clinton Larsen, who mentored sides such as Bloemfontein Celtic, Polokwane, and Lamoteville Golden Arrows.
