Story highlights
Arrows reportedly sealed the deal on Monday
Sera struggled for game time and loss of form after Seema left Celtic to take over Chippa United
The deal was confirmed by the club as the two compatriots reunite again having worked successfully together at Bloemfontein Celtic.
Arrows reportedly finalised the deal on the deadline day on Monday.
Arrows become Sera’s third South African side since moving to SA in 2019 after spells with Celtic, where he made 45 appearances in all competitions as well as Royal AM with just three appearances.
“There is a new Sthende in town. Sthende nation please join us as we welcome our new addition, Motebang Sera,” Arrows said in their social media platforms.
Seema, who replaced Mandla Ncikazi as the new Abafana Besthende coach before the start of the 2021/22 season, was influential in bringing Sera to the South African Premier League in 2019 while he was still in charge of Celtic.
Sera did not disappoint in his first season at Celtic scoring seven goals in 20 appearances in all competitions, including the much-publicised brace against Kaizer Chiefs.
In his second season in the South African DSTV Premiership, the 26-year-old former Matlama forward made 25 appearances, but managed to score only two goals.

However, the Likuena top goal-scorer struggled for game time and loss of form after Seema left Celtic to take over at Chippa United, where he was later sacked before he joined Black Leopards.
Things went from bad to worse for the striker in the current campaign as he only registered 48 minutes in three games over a total of 17 matches after Celtic sold their status to Royal AM, which also saw him leaving the Bloemfontein-based side.
Chippa United were at one stage the front runners for Sera’s signature, but this publication was reliably informed that the Lesotho’s striker and his representatives chose Arrows over the Chilli Boys as the marksman was keen to reunite with his former mentor, Seema.
