Nicknamed ‘Adebayor’ after the Togo international striker‚ the Soweto-born youngster started playing at his father’s team Young Stars and has moved steadily up the ranks with the AmaKhosi.
Letlotlo will hope for a solid campaign under another former Chiefs striker‚ Zambian Wedson Nyirenda‚ who took over the coaching reigns at Baroka ahead of the new campaign.
Nyirenda has already wielded the axe at the club‚ letting France-born Ivorian forward Gnanduillet go.
The 26-year-old had arrived after being released by English lower league side Blackpool‚ having turned out for a number of clubs in that country‚ as well as back home in France.
He is an Ivory Coast Under-20 international‚ but has not played for the senior national side.
He was named as one of 10 new signings three weeks ago‚ along with Zimbabwe goalkeeper Elvis Chipezeze‚ Namibia international left-back Ananias Gebhardt‚ who was previously with Jomo Cosmos‚ Burundian attacking midfielder Hussein Shabani from Rayon Sports and Botswana playmaker Orebotse Mongae from Miscellaneous FC.
Other local players signed were Tshidiso Patjie and Bheki Maliba (both Mbombela United)‚ Thabo Moseki (University of Pretoria)‚ Bonginkosi Makume and Siseko Manana (both free agents).
