The transfer window slammed shut in the Premier Soccer League on Thursday after an unusually long period of being open this season.
Many of the clubs did their business early in the transfer period, gearing up for the new season by finalising their squads ahead of pre-season.
But that does not mean there weren’t some last-minute deals as clubs scrambled to put the finishing touches to their selections.
As has become the norm, Mamelodi Sundowns stole the show with big-name purchases, but there were also extensive squad overhauls at AmaZulu, Chippa United, Sekhukhune United and new boys Richards Bay.
We give a reminder of all the confirmed moves that have been announced by clubs in the extended window.
