FORMER Bafana Bafana striker, Siyabonga “Bhele” Nomvethe, believes he still has a lot to offer AmaZulu.
The 39-year-old is enjoying his time in the National First Division (NFD) team and is not thinking of retirement as yet.
After 18 league games played so far in the NFD, Bhele is among top goal-scorers, having found the back of the net 11 times.
The speedy player is six goals adrift of Royal Eagles hitman, Sedwyn George, who leads the goal-scoring charts with 17 goals.
George is followed by Mhlengi Cele of Thanda Royal Zulu with 14.
With 12 games remaining in the NFD, Nomvethe wants to contribute to making sure AmaZulu finish in a respectable position at the end of the season.
Said Nomvethe: “Anything is possible, but I’m not in the race for being a top goal-scorer. What I want is to help the team, going forward.”
Usuthu have been struggling to get points in their past three games as they only gathered two points.
In the only NFD fixture today, they will lock horns with Real Kings in a KwaZulu-Natal Derby at Princess Magogo Stadium (3.30pm).
Bhele is optimistic they will turn around their fortunes when they host Kings.
He said: “I’m excited with my performance so far and scoring goals is important to me as a striker. It makes me happy to contribute to the team’s success.
“Pressure will always be there and it’s a normal thing for me.”
