Ajax Cape Town academy graduate Norodien joined the club from Orlando Pirates after spending time on loan at Platinum Stars.
Meanwhile, Links came through the ranks at Dikwena before making a high profile move to Egyptian side Pyramids FC before joining the Citizens for a club record fee.
The club’s chairman believes Norodien and Links’ technical quality and intelligence will boost their chances of scoring in the final third.

‘We analysed how we played last season and the one thing we knew we had to improve on was the final third,’ Comitis told IOL.
‘We had lots of possession, we created many scoring chances, but the ball just never hit the back of the net regularly. So, for this season, we have looked at bringing in some high-level players with the technical quality and intelligence to boost our play in the final third.
‘I think in Riyaad [Norodien] and Gift [Links] we have two such players. We all know Riyaad’s quality and Gift is an absolute talent who will provide us with greater impetus in attack. He has fitted in really nicely with the squad and we are confident he will be a good acquisition.’
