Former Cape Town City FC midfielder Thabo Nodada has been spotted at the newly-promoted Betway Premiership side Durban City FC as the club continues to prepare for the new season.
The 30-year-old departed after the Western Cape side was relegated to the Motsepe Foundation Championship via the PSL Promotional/Relegation Playoffs with Orbit College FC gaining promotion.
Nodada had been with Cape Town City since 2015 when the John Comitis-owned club bought the top-flight status from Mpumalanga Black Aces.
He was one of the players who moved with the team from Mpumalanga to the Mother City, remaining there for the past decade despite the Gauteng clubs having been interested in his services.
In the past two weeks, he left the club along with several other players including Thamsanqa Mkhize, Darwin González, Darren Keet, Fortune Makaringe, Haashim Domingo, Elson Sithole, and Kamohelo Mokotjo.
THABO NODADA IN THE COLOURS OF DURBAN CITY
On Saturday, Nodada was spotted in the Durban City colours when the club played a pre-season friendly match with Golden Arrows.
At Durban City FC, Nodada links up with former teammates, Haashim Domingo and Darren Keet, both of whom joined the club at the start of the week.
Both Domingo and Keet are set to reunite with their former coach, Gavin Hunt, who took the reins recently at Durban City. Hunt replaced Simo Dladla, who promoted the Durban-based side to the top-flight. Hunt mentored the two players during his stint at Bidvest Wits.
Domingo turned out for ‘The Clever Boys’ for two seasons – 2018/19 and 2019/20. At Wits, he scored six goals and provided four assists in 57 appearances.
Meanwhile, Keet’s second stint at Wits was between the 2016/17 and 2018/19 seasons. He was part of the squad that won the ABSA Premiership [now Betway Premiership] and Telkom Knockout Cup [now Carling Knockout Cup].
During his time with the Gauteng side, Keet made 139 appearances, conceding 148 goals and coming out with 46 clean sheets.
