Why is Mzansi saying Siyabonga Ngezana is not welcome back in the PSL? Find out, by listening in the podcast player below!
Siyabonga Ngezana has joined an elite set of players who have made the move out of the PSL, and into Europe. The former Kaizer Chiefs defender has put pen to paper and signed for Romanian Ligue 1 club, Fotbol Club FCSB. The versatile defender spent seven seasons with the Glamour Boys, where he grew into a formidable defender. Many Chiefs fans have even praised the 25-year-old, claiming he was one of the best defenders during the 2022/23 DStv Premiership season. The beauty of this move is that there is proof that development players have what it takes to make the move to Europe, so long as the player is hard-working, determined, and ready to make the necessary sacrifices.
Ngezane was able to control the defence, not only playing in the full-back position, but when duty called, he slotted perfectly into a centre-back role, which makes him an indispensable player. Being able to shift mindsets into these positions, is no easy task, which is why a European club came calling.
Elsewhere, former Kaizer Chiefs striker, Samir Nurkovic has been in a legal battle with PSL club, Royal AM over a contractual dispute, which saw the club owned by Shawn Mkhize reportedly terminate the Serbian player's contract early, to the tumultuous groans of the PSL. Nurkovic had signed a two-year deal, not long after being released by the Glamour Boys, but he never featured in any competitive matches.
