Solomon Letsoenyo Training With Marumo Gallants as Former TS Galaxy Defender Waits on Future

Former TS Galaxy left-back Solomon Letsoenyo has emerged as a potential option for Marumo Gallants as the defender looks to secure his next move in the Betway Premiership. The 28-year-old is currently a free agent after parting ways with TS Galaxy and has confirmed that he is training with Gallants while waiting for the club to make a decision. Letsoenyo’s availability could attract interest from clubs looking for defensive reinforcements, particularly because he already has experience playing in South Africa’s top flight. His immediate future remains undecided, but his training spell with Marumo Gallants could provide an important opportunity to continue his career at the highest level. The defender has also previously been linked with Orlando Pirates, although that option did not develop into a move.

Letsoenyo confirmed that he is currently training with Marumo Gallants as discussions around his future continue. The former Galaxy player explained that he is waiting for the club to decide whether they want to secure his services. “I am training with Marumo Gallants and waiting for the club to make a decision,” Letsoenyo confirmed. His comments provide clarity on his current situation and indicate that he remains focused on finding a club despite the uncertainty surrounding his next move. Training with Gallants also allows the defender to maintain his fitness while the club assesses whether he could strengthen their squad.

The possibility of Letsoenyo joining Marumo Gallants comes after the defender was previously mentioned as a potential option for Orlando Pirates. Reports had indicated that there was interest in the player, but the situation did not result in a transfer. Letsoenyo acknowledged that the Pirates possibility existed but confirmed that nothing came from it. “There was that option, but nothing happened, which is why I have since moved on and am now training with Marumo, as I have told you,” he said. His attention has therefore shifted to Gallants, where he now has another opportunity to convince a top-flight club that he can contribute to their squad.

The timing of the situation is also significant because the transfer window has already closed. The window closed at midnight on Monday, meaning clubs can no longer complete standard transfers for players who remain contracted to other teams. Letsoenyo’s status as a free agent, however, gives him a different position because he is no longer tied to a previous club. His availability means his future can still potentially be resolved after the closure of the transfer window, subject to the applicable registration rules. This gives both Letsoenyo and interested clubs additional flexibility as they consider a possible agreement.

For Marumo Gallants, Letsoenyo could offer experience and depth at left-back if the club decides to take its interest further. The defender has spent several seasons competing in the South African top flight and understands the demands of regular Betway Premiership football. His availability without the need for a conventional transfer fee could also make him an option for a club assessing its squad after the transfer window. Gallants will nevertheless need to consider his current fitness, tactical suitability and overall requirements before making a final decision. The fact that he is already training with the club gives the coaching staff an opportunity to assess him directly.

Letsoenyo’s spell at TS Galaxy formed a significant part of his recent career. He joined the Mpumalanga-based club from Stellenbosch FC in 2023 and spent three seasons with Galaxy. During the 2025/26 campaign, he made 32 appearances across all competitions, showing that he remained involved in the first-team setup for much of the season. His experience at Galaxy means he has faced the physical and tactical demands of the South African top flight on a regular basis. That background could be useful to Marumo Gallants if the club decides that additional experience is needed in the defensive department.

The defender was also part of the TS Galaxy squad that reached the Nedbank Cup final against Durban City in May. Reaching the final provided Galaxy with an important opportunity in the domestic cup competition, and Letsoenyo was involved during the club’s run. His role changed towards the end of the season, however, as he was on the bench for Galaxy’s final four league matches. That change in his involvement may form part of the wider context behind his departure from the club and his decision to explore other opportunities. He is now looking for a fresh start, with Marumo Gallants potentially providing the next chapter of his career.

The situation leaves Letsoenyo waiting for a decision while he continues to train and prepare for his next opportunity. For a player who has accumulated top-flight experience, remaining without a club does not necessarily mean his options have ended, particularly given his free-agent status. His current training stint with Marumo Gallants could allow him to demonstrate his fitness and ability before the club makes a decision. At the same time, other clubs could still monitor his situation if they require an experienced left-back. The former TS Galaxy defender therefore remains a player to watch as he considers where to continue his career.

Marumo Gallants now have the opportunity to determine whether Letsoenyo fits their immediate squad requirements. The defender has already made his position clear by confirming that he is training with the club and waiting for a decision. His experience with TS Galaxy, previous top-flight football and availability as a free agent give the club several factors to consider. While his potential move to Orlando Pirates did not materialise, his current opportunity at Gallants could offer him another route back into regular Betway Premiership football. Until the club reaches a decision, Letsoenyo’s next destination remains uncertain, but his presence in the Gallants setup ensures that his future continues to attract attention.
