After only getting a big move to Orlando Pirates in 2012, Sifiso Myeni has revealed how he dumped Kaizer Chiefs for Bidvest Wits four years prior.
Myeni was nurtured by the Moroka Swallows academy but he made his professional breakthrough at the now defunct Bidvest Wits in 2008.
The skilful midfielder set the PSL alight during his four-year stay at the Clever Boys before he was signed by Pirates.

However, Soweto native former attacker was given a trial at Chiefs at the instruction of former coach Muhsin Ertugral, who coached him at Ajax Cape Town youth but Myeni has revealed that he quit the club while his trial was ongoing.
"He (Ertugral) was at Ajax, he went on to coach Chiefs. He said bring him here. I got there, I went straight to the first team. First day I got there, I always remember this guy, what a nice and humble guy, Mabhuti Khenyeza," Myeni said in an interview on izinja zeGame podcast with Josta Dladla.

"He called me to his car, he didn't know me (but gave me a warm welcome). Now you see people you used to see on TV, your David Mathebula, your Jimmy Tau...Now I get there, we play, as a youngster you're scared.
"Muhsin doing drills. I was even scared to take (drink) water. We were training and going to gym (at the same time). Chiefs were not saying anything (about my trial), I told (my local coach) 'I'm leaving them'. I was frustrated by gym, I was still young. You know as a youngster you just want to play football, this thing of going to gym, treadmills, I didn't have time for that. I was like ja Chiefs is a big team but I can't change this programme. I told my (local) coach 'I'm tired! Every time gym!? I wanna play! (Eventually) I left and went to Wits!" Myeni revealed.
Myeni retired from professional football late last year after two years at Botswana side VTM.
