Tshireletso began his playing career with Palapye-based side Motlakase Power Dynamos. After staying with the team for four years he would move to Lobatse with BMC before finally joining Township Rollers. Although he won the Botswana Premier League in his first season with the team, Tshireletso suffered from frequent injuries and was mostly used as a bench player. Following a knee injury which forced him into injury in 2016, Rollers appointed him as one of the three assistant managers alongside Thabo Motang and Mogomotsi Mpote.[3] He remains in that post to this day and occasionally takes charge of the first team in the absence of the manager.
