Betway Premiership side Sekhukhune United have announced the return of right-back Nyiko Mobbie following his departure from Siwelele FC.
As recently reported by FARPost, Mobbie joins Babina Noko on a free transfer after negotiations for a new deal with Siwelele broke down. He is back at the Limpopo club, a club he left in June 2024 after a three-season stint.
During his spell at Sekhukhune, Mobbie was on loan from Mamelodi Sundowns. He enjoyed regular game time during that time and was a trusted right-back by Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos.
But after returning to the Brazilians, he then permanently signed for SuperSport United FC, whose Betway Premiership status was acquired by Siwelele before the start of last season. The 31-year-old joins a fresh project launched by Sekhukhune’s new coach, Cedric Kaze. He is one of the most experienced players in former Kaizer Chiefs coach Kaze’s squad.
Together with the likes of attacking midfielder Vusumuzi Mncube, Keletso Makgalwa, Lehlohonolo Mojela and 37-year-old Daniel Cardoso, Mobbie is expected to be one of the team leaders.

“Sekhukhune United Football Club is delighted to welcome Nyiko Mobbie back to Babina Noko on a permanent transfer,” Sekhukhune announced on Tuesday.
“Mobbie returns to the club after a highly successful spell between the 2021/22 and 2023/24 seasons, during which he established himself as one of the Premier Soccer League’s standout performers.
“His impressive displays earned him multiple call-ups to the South African senior national team and was part of the team that earned third-place finish at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
“A dynamic and experienced defender, Mobbie returns with valuable top-flight and international experience, further strengthening the squad ahead of the 2026/27 Betway Premiership campaign. Everyone at Sekhukhune United warmly welcomes Nyiko back to Babina Noko and wishes him every success in the club’s colours once again.”
