He later joined UAE’s Al Jazira, winning the Best Foreign Player award, and most recently played for Khor Fakkan.

Now back home, Cape Town City has confirmed the 34-year-old will wear the number eight jersey, a number previously worn by club legends like Teko Modise and Lebo Manyama, the latter now serving as the club’s assistant coach.
