Reigning Africa Women’s Player of the Year, Thembi Kgatlana has joined Chinese Women’s Super League side, Beijing Phoenix from Houston Dash on a one year deal.
The AWCON 2018 Player of the Tournament made the switch after an impressive outing in Ghana last year which saw her side qualify for the World Cup for the first time and also come close to clinching Africa’s most prized trophy.
