Game time has been hard to come by for the former TS Galaxy defender and there is no guarantee that he will get many opportunities once he is fully fit to play, with Inacio Miguel, Zitha Kwinika, Aden McCarthy and the returning Rushwin Dortley to compete with in central defence.
Msimango has two more years to run on his contract with the Soweto giants, having signed a three-year contract from the Rockets two seasons ago. But there is concern over how much game time he has been getting, which could play a part in what happens at the end of June 2026.
Soccer Laduma understands this will be a big season for the defender to prove himself in the team, to see out his contract until June 2027. It's not going to be easy, considering how difficult it's been to get game time.
