Usuthu sign Bafana Bafana legend─── MORGAN PIEK 08:39 Tue, 20 Oct 2020
The Durban-based Premier Soccer League club, AmaZulu, managed to secure the signature on the legendary Bafana Bafana midfielder, Siphiwe Tshabalala, ahead of the 2020/21 season.
The 36-year-old former Free State Stars player is most well-known for the cracking goal he scored against Mexico during the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa.
Tshabalala was linked with a move to China before he was unveiled as an Usuthu player yesterday.
The player who has also played 209 games for Kaizer Chiefs says he signed with AmaZulu because he wants to be there.
“I’ve had quite a number of offers, mostly from abroad.
“For me, it was to make a decision and I always say that things happen for a reason. I am happy with the decision that I made.
“I’m here because I want to be here, not because I have to be here.
“It’s a challenge coming to a team that has been struggling in the league for I think six or seven seasons, in terms of always fighting relegation.”
AmaZulu will open their campaign on Saturday when they host Orlando Pirates at Kings’ Park.
