McCarthy believes the return of Johannes would make his side genuine title contenders and is hoping a deal can be worked out with Bidvest Wits‚ who snatched up the 32-year-old on a pre-contract ahead of last season. Johannes made 25 appearances in all competitions for Wits last season‚ but there has been talk he could exit the club.

“The only recognised centre-back I have is [Keanu] Cupido and it is a worry. We have some youngsters‚ but they are not tried and tested yet. You can’t go into a tough season‚ where I want to win the league‚ with younger players.
