Veteran Bafana Bafana defender Siyanda Xulu could be set to continue his professional journey in Europe, with sources indicating that the 33-year-old is headed to Romania – a move that could see him line up in the same league as fellow South African international Siyabonga Ngezana.
Xulu, who was previously linked with a move to Libyan giants Al-Ittihad before the club opted to sign Botswana’s Thatayaone Ditlhokwe, has now turned his focus to Eastern Europe, where he’s expected to join a top-flight Romanian outfit.

The switch could potentially set up a clash with Ngezana, the former Kaizer Chiefs defender who has been making waves in the Romanian SuperLiga with FCSB.
Having played in Russia, Israel, and Azerbaijan among other countries, Xulu is no stranger to life abroad.
His vast international experience, which includes many Bafana caps, is expected to be an asset to his prospective new team.
The centre-back’s next move comes after a brief stint with SuperSport United, where playing time proved limited.

A fresh start in Europe could reignite his career, especially with Bafana coach Hugo Broos continuing to monitor players abroad ahead of some important matches coming up for the national team.
Xulu’s imminent transfer underscores the growing South African footprint in Romania’s top division, with both players representing the new wave of talent and experience finding success beyond Mzansi’s borders.
