Marumo Gallants striker Ranga Chivaviro has said he is not aware that he signed for Kaizer Chiefs or Richards Bay.
This comes as his club announced on Friday that Chivaviro will be moving to Chiefs after the two clubs reached an agreement.
The 30-year-old striker was born in Limpopo Province to a South African mother and a Zimbabwean father and grew up in Mpumalanga.
This makes him eligible to play for either South Africa or Zimbabwe.
In a statement issued on Friday, Gallants named Chivaviro among players who had left for other clubs. It said:
"Gallants confirms the departures of, among others, Ranga Chivaviro (Kaizer Chiefs FC), Katlego Otladisa (Orlando Pirates FC), Ismael Toure (Stellenbosch FC) and Lesiba Nku (Mamelodi Sundowns FC).
Richards Bay have also claimed that Chivaviro is their player after he signed a pre-contract with them.
But on Saturday Chivaviro said:
"I don’t know all of that (about him joining Chiefs or having signed for Richards Bay).
"I’m just like you, I only saw that (in a statement) yesterday (Friday)," he said.
Speaking to SABC’s KwaZulu-Natal-based radio station Ukhozi FM on Friday, Richards Bay chair, Jomo Biyela said they have proof Chivaviro is their player after he signed a pre-contract with the club. He said:
"We have signed him for two years with an option. We will wait for the club to unveil him and then we will follow protocol."
Chiefs are yet to announce Chivaviro has joined them but reports say the player has been training with the Naturena-based club.
The striker scored a total of 17 goals — 10 in the DStv Premiership and seven in the CAF Confederation Cup where Gallants reached the semi-finals of the tournament.
