Ngcobo’s Chiefs Future Still Uncertain

Ngcobo’s Chiefs Future Still Uncertain

With the season now over, the Siya crew has been informed that the future of Njabulo Ngcobo will be properly discussed at Naturena, with an exit not being ruled out.

Ngcobo, who turned 29 last Saturday (27 May), has just come off another diffi­cult campaign with Kaizer Chiefs, struggling to break into the team under head

coach Arthur Zwane. Now he has one more year to go on his deal with the club and a decision will be taken on what happens next, with a few possibilities on the cards for the former Swallows FC and Uthongathi man.

A loan move has not been ruled out for the centre-back, as well as the possibility of being trans­fer-listed, to allow clubs inter­ested in his services to make an offer.

The Glamour Boys are expected to welcome Thatayaone Ditlhokwe and Given Msimango ahead of the new season, which gives the for­mer PSL Defender of the Season a slim chance of playing regularly next term. Msimango was a nom­inee for the DStv Premiership De­fender of the Season award after an impressive campaign with TS Galaxy, while Ditlhokwe had a strong finish to his time at Super­Sport United.

During the past season, Ngcobo made 14 appearances in all com­petitions, 11 of which were in the league. He might be worried that he will play less with more compe­tition coming into the team.

In Chiefs' last four league matches, he played 90 minutes on three occasions, which was much-needed game-time to prove him­self once more before the end of the campaign.
