Ajax Cape Town coach Maarten Stekelenburg feels that the recent transfers have strengthened the squad enough to challenge for League honours.

He said: “We are pleased with the quality of our signings presented here today (at Ajax Cape Town's Ikamva facility).

"The players here show that our focus on attack is paramount to our game plan. George Akpabio, Clint Julius and Toriq Losper are all attacking players. Last season George scored 18 goals for Plateau United in his first season playing in the top flight of Nigerian football.

"Clint Julius is comfortable on either wing and he is an accurate passer of the ball. Toriq is able to play in a number of attacking positions and this gives the team options going forward.

"Kyle is the only non attacking player as he is a goalkeeper, he is the youngest of our signings and he will learn a lot from Sander, Sean and Brian (our goalkeeper coach) who will nurture his talent. They have a lot of experience between them and Kyle will profit immensely from their knowledge gained over the years.

"Clint, Toriq and Kyle have all come through the Ajax Cape Town Youth Academy, they know our system and they are living the Ajax dream progressing through the Ajax youth ranks to play PSL football."Overall, the young first team coach believes that Ajax will be a more balanced team going forward into the secong half of the Absa Premiership campaign.
