Molde FK confirm signing of Samukelo Kabini from TS Galaxy

Norwegian side Molde FK has confirmed the signing of Samukelo Kabini from TS Galaxy after the player’s impressive display in the Betway Premiership.

Kabini is leaving the Rockets after spending the last two seasons with the club where he established himself as one of the key players.

The talented wing-back has played a pivotal role in turning Galaxy’s fortunes after having a dismal start to the current campaign.

Following Galaxy’s slump in the league, their head coach Sead Ramovic resigned from his position and was replaced by Adnan Beganovic, who served as an assistant coach to the German tactician.

Beganovic has pulled off a big turnaround for the Mpumalanga-based side and moved them out of the relegation zone. Galaxy are sitting fourth on the log standings with 35 points after 23 games.

Meanwhile, Kabini has been key for Galaxy’s resurgence after featuring in 24 matches across all competitions. He scored three goals and provided one assist.

Molde FK, a former club to Manchester City star Erling Haaland have confirmed the arrival of the 21-year-old highly-rated defender.

“Samukele Kabini [21] has signed a contract with Molde FK that extends until 2028. The left-footed defender comes from TS Galaxy FC in South Africa’s top division,” Molde said in a statement.

“Kabini has mostly played left-back and centre-back, and he is described as a physically strong and versatile defender with great development potential. He will also make history as Molde FK’s first-ever South African player. Looking forward to the challenge, the young defender sees Molde as the perfect place to take the next step in his career.

Samukelo Kabini has expressed his excitement about joining Molde, revealing that he heard a lot of good things about the club.

“I’m very happy to be here in Molde. It’s been some exciting days, and I’m looking forward to getting started,” said Kabini. “And, I’ve heard a lot of good things about the club and have seen how Molde performs both in Norway and in Europe. It seems like a fantastic place to develop as a player.

“I like to play with intensity and use my physicality in duels. I’ve played both as a left-back and centre-back, and I always give my all for the team.”

Kabini has now completed the medical test and is ready for his first training session with the team today.
