    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Mngqithi arrives at Arrows at a time when they have been struggling in the PSL campaign.

    They have failed to register victory in their last four league matches, leaving them 11th on the table.

    The team from Lamontville has also been knocked out of the Nedbank Cup, leaving Mngqithi's experience critical in rescuing their season.

    WHAT NEXT FOR ARROWS?

    Interestingly, Mngqithi's return to Arrows comes as Abafana Bes'thende are preparing to tackle Mamelodi Sundowns on Wednesday.

    The KwaZulu-Natal side hosts Masandawana at Mpumalanga Stadium, hoping to derail the Brazilians' title charge with Mngqithi likely to have a point to prove to his former employers.
