Premier Soccer League (PSL) newcomers Highlands Park signalled their intentions for the coming season on Monday when they unveiled striker Collins Mbesuma as one of their star signings for the coming campaign. The newly promoted side added 12 new players to the 18-man squad they already had ahead of the start of their pre-season preparations on Monday.Mbesuma‚ who was last season's PSL top scorer after finishing with 14 goals in the league‚ has joined the Tembisa-based side from Mpumalanga Black Aces. Aces‚ who were bought by soccer boss John Comitis and renamed Cape Town City‚ decided against taking Mbesuma when the new club relocated to the Mother City last month and the Zambian striker has been a free agent since.There they are.
