Betway Premiership side Marumo Gallants have announced the return of former Orlando Pirates midfielder Ndabayithethwa Ndlondlo to the club.
Ndlondlo was a free agent after parting ways with Orlando Pirates. He had joined the Buccaneers in 2022, winning various trophies with the side.
But the midfielder was part of the players who were released by the club at the end of the season. Before his move to the Buccaneers, Ndlondlo spent a few seasons at Gallants.
He was part of the players who moved to the club after they purchased the status from Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila. He was part of the squad that reached the CAF Confederation Cup semi-final with the club.
NDABAYITHETHWA NDLONDLO DOING DUTY FOR THE NATIONAL TEAM
The 30-year-old is currently part of the Bafana Bafana squad taking part in the African Nations Championship [CHAN] in East Africa.
He has featured in the two matches that the Molefi Ntseki side has played in Group C of the competition. So far, Bafana Bafana have played a 1-1 draw against Algeria and beat Guinea 2-1.
They are set to face Niger in their next group match on Friday, 15 August at Mandela National Stadium in Kampala.
MARUMO GALLANTS WELCOME BACK THEIR FORMER STAR PLAYER
The club announced the return of Ndlondlo on their social media platforms on Thursday. He will only join his teammates upon his return from the CHAN tournament.
“Welcome back to the Gallants family. We are excited to officially announce the return of Ndabayithethwa Ndlondlo, an attacking midfielder who previously played for Marumo Gallants FC in 2021-2022,” the club said.
“Ndlondlo brings creativity, experience, and attacking flair to strengthen the squad for the season ahead. He will join the team at training after the national team returns from the CHAN tournament.”
