Former Prodigy Returns To Ikamva

Former Ajax Amsterdam forward Leo Thethani has made a return to the club where his career began after signing for Cape Town Spurs.

Thethani was announced by the Motsepe Foundation Championship club on Monday, joining other former Ajax Cape Town players who have returned to Ikamva, including Clayton Daniels and Nazeer Allie.

Thethani is looking to revive his career after a long spell without a club. A former academy star that went through the youth ranks of the Cape side, Thethani was promoted to the first team in 2017, but before he could settle in, he was transferred to the Netherlands giants.

But it was an injury-ridden time in the Netherlands for the junior international, and the 23-year-old played mainly in the club’s youth department until his release two years ago. He has been without a team since leaving Amsterdam in July 2020.
