Dash sign three, including South African forward

New Dash coach Vera Pauw continues to follow through on her word to sign young players who she views have potential for great things.

Pauw's latest international signing is 21-year old South African forward Thembi Kgatlana.

Pauw coached Kgatlana on the South African national team. Kgatlana has 28 caps with South Africa. She played in two games at the 2016 Olympics.

In 2017, Kgatlana was one of three finalists for the Confederation of African Football Women's Player of the Year award.

Earlier this off-season, Pauw signed 19-year old South African midfielder Linda Motlhalo.

The Dash also have signed two familiar faces to new contracts - defenders Cari Roccaro and Cami Levin.
