Former Kaizer Chiefs midfielder Njabulo Blom is back in the fold for Bafana after excelling in the MLS. He's opened up on his Naturena exit.
Blom is a famous product of the academy setup at Naturena. He was promoted to the first team in 2019. MLS outfit St. Louis City came in for him at the end of 2022 and it was an easy choice for Blom to leave at the time. He has explained why.
“ I was still trying to figure out my next move because there were things that weren’t good at Chiefs, we were not getting into an agreement in terms of my contract,” Blom said as quoted by “So, my agent told me that there was a new team in the US and they were interested in me and it might be a good move for me to use that as a stepping stone to Europe.
“I sat down with my family and we decided it was a really good move for me to grow as a human being… move out of my comfort zone, find myself as a young adult.”“I have to be honest; I have been there for almost a year now and I think it’s a really competitive league because a lot of players from Europe are coming in now and also players from South Africa…they make the league a bit better,” he continued.
“We all know that Messi is one of the best players in the world and we knew when we moved to the MLS that the league would get a lot of attention, a lot of sponsors, so it’s been great having him around because now the league is being taken seriously.”After becoming a key figure for St. Louis City, making 25 league appearances this term, Njabulo Blom has earned a recall to the Bafna setup.
