Over a year has passed since Cele was hotly linked with a move to Naturena.

Instead, the player secured a two-year contract with Polish Ekstraklasa outfit Radomiak Radom, where he has been plying his trade since October last year.

The 25-year-old reaffirmed his decision to choose Europe over a potential return to South Africa.

"It was really close to happening, me coming back to South Africa, but at the end of the day I had to sit with myself and think about the decision and my people. It was close to happening and I had to take a decision and I decided that for me right now, as much as I am 25 years old now, I still have time to get to where I wanna get to, ever since I came to Europe," Cele said in a Twitter space hosted by Prince Sobayeni.

"I decided to stay this side and just fight for this thing. That was my decision," he added.
