OFFICIAL: Bafana Bafana playmaker signs for former English Premier League forward's club in Europe after leaving PSL side

Bafana Bafana playmaker Ethan Brooks has completed a move to Greek top-tier side Panserraikos.

Brooks has completed the move after leaving PSL side AmaZulu at the end of last season. 

Panserraikos is one of the clubs that enjoys the most support in northern Greece and has been regularly playing in the First Division.  

“Panserraikos FC announces the start of its collaboration with international footballer Ethan Brooks, who signed a two-year contract with our team and will wear the jersey with the lion on the chest,” the club statement said.

This is the first club outside the border for the 24-year-old South African international.

Brooks has played 16 times for South Africa, and his recent games were in the COSAFA Cup last year.

He signed for Usuthu in 2022 from TS Galaxy, where he established himself as a potential top talent.

It is reported that Brooks and AmaZulu parted ways after the two parties did not agree on terms for a new deal.

He was viewed as an integral figure in Arthur Zwane's team, especially after playing in 25 matches across all competitions last season.  

Before he was announced as a new player for the Greek side, Brooks had been linked with Lexington SC in the USL Championship. 

However, his Panserraikos confirmation means he will be playing in Europe this season and not in America, where transfer rumours had pointed to as his next destination. 

One of Brooks' new teammates is Andre Green, who played for Aston Villa in the English Premier League.

The former England under-20 star recently joined Panserraikos from English League One side Rotherham United.
