A Former Kaizer Chiefs Player Back In SA For Another Chance

A South African midfielder, who has been plying his trade abroad, is back home to give it another try in Mzansi, as he looks to further his career.

Having left Mzansi a few years ago to join Aspire Academy in Qatar, Phakamani Mngadi went on to secure a move to KAS Eupen in Belgium in 2012.

In 2014, Mngadi came back from Belgium to join Kaizer Chiefs on loan from Eupen in what was seen as an opportunity for him to make a name for himself in the Absa Premiership.

However, the move backfired for the Pietermaritzburg-born player as he left the Soweto giants having made just one appearance as a substitute under coach Stuart Baxter at the end of the 2014/15 season.

On his return to Eupen in 2015, the player had been with the club up to 2017, and has been in the football wilderness since.

National First Division club, Jomo Cosmos, have since signed the 24-year-old as he looks to revive his career in the new season.

"We have signed former KAS Cupen of Belgium player, PHAKAMANI NDUMISO MNGADI on a one-year deal," confirmed Ezenkosi on the club's official Twitter account.

Cosmos have also confirmed signing midfielder Wandile Sicholo from Ubuntu Cape Town FC on a two-year deal.
