As reported by the Siya crew, Seedat was on the verge of a switch to Amakhosi last season at a time when Chiefs, like they do now, need an experienced left-back; however, injury jeopardized the move as the 31-year-old suffered a knee injury that saw him sidelined for 10 months.
Now, back to full fitness and on the verge of a move to Cape Town Spurs, Seedat has opened up on the failed Chiefs move and how he managed to move on from disappointment.
"Obviously it was a bitter pill to swallow, but you know I'm a positive guy, I'm a family man. It was a little tough because that move would have been a good move for me and my career, but this is God's plan this is what God wanted me to face and this is basically my trial that I had to go through on this earth," he told the Siya crew in an exclusive interview.
"So, I took it as a blessing because at the end of the day, I've learned so much in these past 10 months now, how to appreciate the game even more, how to work hard even more because of what I've been through and everyone goes through different phases in their careers. Unfortunately, I had to go through this which I accepted from day one because I got injured on the 18th of July, which was the Wednesday and the next day I immediately went for my scan, and then flew down back to Cape Town from Joburg. I went to the doctor on Monday the 22nd of July, I told the doctor, 'look if I need to do surgery, give me the earliest date, so I can do my operation' which was the 24th of August 2023.
"So I just accepted it as quick as possible. Yes, I did cry obviously for about two hours when it happened because I just came from my MCL, I was working very hard everyone could see at the beginning of that season, so yeah. I mean these things happen and I just took it like it came and I just kept on working hard basically. So, that's what kept me going. I accepted what happened and then just moved on quickly and when I did my operation which was the 24th after the 10 days I was immediately in the gym at Cape Town City," he added.
