“I think he has been making good progress in improving his game, getting goals and being in the right position,” Lebese told ThisIsFootball

“He has good energy and speed which is an advantage, obviously as a professional. I hope that he keeps demanding more from himself, and looks beyond Pirates and the PSL.”

“I had to choose between staying and not playing, or reviving my career. I decided to move and get a deal here at SuperSport.” Ndlovu said as quoted by Citizen.

“At Orlando Pirates I went 10 games without making a 20-man squad and that is frustrating. If you know that you are one of the better midfielders in the PSL, you rate yourself as a player because of the things you did.

“You have to really go with what works for you and you also need to know if the coach is going to use you. I have not been a regular at Pirates and it has been a struggle.”
