Bearer have also roped in the likes of forgotten former Orlando Pirates striker Bongani Ndulula and former Kaizer Chiefs Multichoice Diski Challenge starlet Yusuf Bunting as they plan to upend the top-flight next season.

For good measure, former Bafana Bafana defender Mark Fish has also been enlisted as part of the technical team.

A source told KickOff:

"Its a huge project. The owner of the club who is also into mining is pushing for a deal to get a PSL status next season. There is a Spanish guy who is a head coach.

"Mark Fish is also part of the technical team. The other player training with the club is Innocent Mdledle. The owner of the club is also trying to give ex PSL players a second chance."

Former Chiefs midfielder, George Lebese is also expected to join Armor Bearer FC soon.
