Sera rejects Chippa for reunion with Seema
Likuena forward, Motebang Sera
Story highlights
According to sources close to Sera, he was offered to Chippa United by Royal AM, where he had struggled for game time since the club bought the status of Bloemfontein Celtic in 2021.
However, the former Matlama marksman and his representatives failed to reach an agreement with Chippa United on personal terms though his clearance had already been issued to the Chilli Boys.
The 26-year-old has been training with Arrows for two weeks now, where he is hoping to get his groove back having enjoyed a rich vein of form while working with coach Seema at Bloemfontein Celtic.
“The striker is no longer going to Chippa and has opted for Arrows, where he will reunite with Seema after the two had a successful working relationship at Celtic,” the source said.
“Actually, Seema played a big part in Sera coming to South Africa and playing for Celtic. Lack of game time at Royal AM frustrated him, but he is hopeful of recovering his best form now that he will reunite with Seema at Arrows.”
According to the source, Sera is in high spirits and was in Lesotho last week to sort out his work permit before completing the move to Arrows.
