Maritzburg United have sold Bafana Bafana star Bongokuhle Hlongwane to US Major League Soccer (MLS) team Minnesota United.
“He has absolutely explosive pace, but he also looks to combine and build with his teammates. We love his raw talents, but his football IQ is exceptional.”
Maritzburg chairperson Farook Kadodia said Hlongwane had offers from in SA and overseas, but had always set his sights on signing for a club abroad. “It's been a pleasure to witness Bongokuhle’s growth both as a player and as a young man since he was identified and recruited into the club's youth structures four years ago,” Kadodia said.
“Such has been the quality and consistency of his performances that it was not a surprise that the club had received a number of offers both locally and internationally for him, however the player has always had his heart set on playing abroad and this opportunity presents him with an exciting new challenge to test himself in a highly competitive environment.”We've signed South African international Bongokuhle Hlongwane via transfer from South African Premier Division side Maritzburg United.
