Pompei Overview

The former Amakhosi captain has finally lifted the lid on his dramatic departure from Naturena, revealing the internal tug-of-war that preceded his move to Austria. The midfielder, who was a cornerstone of the Soweto giant's starting line-up, had to take a stand against the club's management to ensure his dream of playing in Europe became a reality.

The former Orlando Pirates development player has been making waves in his maiden season in Austria. His impressive performances have not gone unnoticed, with growing transfer rumours linking him to a potential move elsewhere. One of his reported suitors has since broken their silence, responding to speculation surrounding the central midfielder.

The 23-year-old secured a move from Stellenbosch FC to Europe in September 2024 and has since established himself as a key member of his team. His impressive performances have now earned him a new contract, extending his stay at the club where he also shares the dressing room with a former Kaizer Chiefs captain.

Amakhosi officially confirmed the departure of the Bafana Bafana midfielder to Austrian Football Bundesliga club SV Ried on Tuesday, 15 July.
