Like his older brother Mark during his career that was mainly in South Africa, Mihlali could be seen as quite the journey man. 

He's played for Djurgarden, Degerfors, and Brage all in Sweden, as well as Farense and Coimbra in Portugal.

He now finds himself in Cyprus at Aris Limassol, where he recently won the league and earned himself a place in Hugo Broos' Bafana Bafana set-up on a regular basis.
