Ethiopian striker Abubeker Nassir has joined SuperSport United after leaving PSL champions Mamelodi Sundowns.
The 24-year-old was a free agent and had been training with SuperSport while the finer details of his move were finalised.
SuperSport has only scored one goal in five PSL matches, and coach Gavin Hunt will hope Nassir will solve that issue while top scorer Bradley Grobler recovers from injury.

According to a Briefly News source at SuperSport, the club welcomed the signing and said the player has already forged relationships with the squad after training with the side.
The source said:
"He has been training with the side for a long time, and you can say he has formed a bond with the players. Everybody here hopes he can now bring his obvious quality and talent to the playing field and help SuperSport. Unfortunately, a few details had to be sorted; otherwise, the signing would have been done sooner."
Fans back Nassir
Local football fans backed Nassir on social media, saying the striker could be a valuable addition to SuperSport if he stays fit.

"I'm happy for the boy; he's still good."

"One of the most dangerous players, but always injured."
