Official: Bafana Bafana Defender Lands New Club
Bafana Bafana defender Siyanda Xulu has joined Turan-Tovuz IK in the Azerbaijan Premier League.
The player who cancelled his own contract with Israeli giants Hapoel Tel Aviv after an alleged training ground bust-up with his former coach was training with AmaZulu when he returned home last season.
However, he was unable to be signed by any club, having left his former employers outside the transfer window. And with little match-fitness, he’s found himself in a predicament as his salary package put him out of reach of potential suitors in the DStv Premiership.
The likes of Orlando Pirates, Mamelodi Sundowns, and Kaizer Chiefs were all slightly interested but went on to pursue other options while SuperSport United went for Thulani Hlatshwayo upon the return of Gavin Hunt to the club.
The former Masandawana captain has now moved back outside the country to the Azerbaijani top-flight, signing a one-year contract, after stints with Hapoel and Rostov between his time with Amakhosi and Maritzburg United.
Xulu, who had been a key member of Hugo Broos’ Bafana team also missed out on selection recently, due to being club-less.
In this week’s edition of iDiski Times we catch up with former Mamelodi Sundowns star Sibusiso Vilakazi as he talks about his ups and downs with the Brazilians, as well as his ambitions with TS Galaxy. We also hear from the newly appointed Chippa United coach, Daine Klate, who reveals what type of football he wants his team to play, and why he decided to take on one of the hottest seats in PSL coaching. There are also interviews with Kaitano Tembo and Jerry Tshabalala, as well as a preview of the highly anticipated battle between Kaizer Chiefs and Sundowns this weekend.
