South African top-flight side Durban City closing in on experienced defender Thulani Hlatshwayo

Durban City are on the verge of securing the services of experienced defender Thulani Hlatshwayo in the ongoing summer transfer window.

The seasoned centre-back is currently a free agent following his departure from SuperSport United last month.

Durban City enjoyed a stellar campaign last season, earning promotion to the South African Premiership. In an attempt to make a meaningful impact, the newly promoted club has set sights on the 35-year-old defender.

Hlatshwayo featured for SuperSport United last season before departing the club at the end of the 2024/25 football season.

The 35-year-old defender has made 412 appearances in his Premiership career, scoring 25 goals and providing nine assists.

Meanwhile, Durban City, having secured promotion to the Betway Premiership following a successful campaign in South Africa’s second division, have opted to make a change at the helm. The club has reached an agreement with Gavin Hunt to take over the club.
