“I believe that the youngsters which have brought the team up are capable of sustaining the team because it is their home town team and they’re the ones who fought hard for this team to be where it is today also they will help me end my football career with on a high note.”
The 35 year-old was unveiled by Chairman Nkosinathi Mqokiyana on Sunday afternoon.

“He will bring balance either in the middle park or at the back because He can play both positions.
“He signed a six-month contract and he has also signed for an option to renew his contract to one year depending on his performance. He is a man who said he still wants to play football.
