Former Kaizer Chiefs coach Shaun Bartlett has joined Dstv Premiership side TS Galaxy as assistant coach of da Gama, SA media report.

Bartlett was jobless since he parted ways with the Glamour Boys where he was assisting Ernst Middendorp.

“I know his talent and his commitment to the game. Most importantly I admire his work ethic. I know almost all his characteristics. We have to work very hard now. He understands the South African game very well.
