"Touré is undoubtedly one of the very best defenders in our league and an important signing for our club," Barker said, as per the club's official website.
"He showed his qualities throughout last season with Marumo Gallants, including outstanding performances in the Confederations Cup.
"He is a physically commanding centre-back who is good with the ball at his feet, and we believe that he will be a big addition to our squad."
