Former Kaizer Chiefs, Mamelodi Sundowns and AmaZulu FC midfielder George Maluleka has shared some insights into the kind of role he is expected to play at Kruger United.
Maluleka was officially unveiled by the Motsepe Foundation Championship newbies on Wednesday.
The 35-year-old has been a free agent since parting ways with AmaZulu FC at the end of last season. Maluleka is believed to have penned down a one-year deal with the club.

“I am so excited. The guys were very good and nice to me; hence, I say I feel like I am home,” he said.
“I feel like I have been here for weeks, yet it’s only my first week. But so far so good. The training sessions, the combos, and the understanding between the guys and me. So I am so happy and excited.”

“I think it’s important for me to be a human being, besides the experience and everything that I come with,” added Maluleka.
“But these guys, like you say, inspiration is very key, as is the contribution. I also want to let them know the ins and outs of the game. Just to push them, a little bit of encouragement from my side.
“But togetherness is what I am here for, and I just want to show them that it’s possible. This is where I also started as a very young boy, and I am looking forward to doing it in my career. So firstly, I want to inspire, contribute, and obviously push the guys.”
Kruger are set to travel to Lebowakgomo on Saturday for a clash against Baroka FC for their next league assignment. They are currently at position nine on the log after collecting four points from their first three matches.
