Former Kaizer Chiefs and Bafana Bafana star midfielder Siphiwe Tshabalala has insisted he has not retired and revealed he has this week turned down an opportunity to go back to Europe
.Yeah, I’m not yet retired. I’m still an active soccer player. On Monday, someone sent me a text about an opportunity to play abroad but I didn’t entertain it. I think I want to focus more on home and there is a lot that I need to achieve here at home. I’ll continue searching [for a club here at home].
He moved to Free State Stars the following season where he was a star from 2004 to January of 2007 when he returned to Chiefs as a first-team player.From 2017 to 2018, when he made his first overseas move, joining Turkish club BB Erzurumspor as a 33-year-old, Tshabalala was part of the core that carried Chiefs on its shoulders for 11 years.
This year’s launch coincided with the ongoing World Cup in Qatar, a tournament that made the dreadlocked left-footed player earn a global status. You can imagine a boy from the dusty streets of Phiri in Soweto who had a dream of playing football professionally at the highest level. He finally realises his dream of playing in a World Cup at home.
