Siphiwe Tshabalala: It's a new chapter for me

Siphiwe Tshabalala says he agreed to join AmaZulu after hearing the club's plans for the new season.

The former Kaizer Chiefs and Bafana star was reportedly in talks to join a club in China prior to the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic.

He was still hopeful of securing a move before being unveiled along with a host of new signings by Usuthu this week.

Tshabalala last played for Turkish side BB Erzurumspor after leaving Amakhosi following a decade with the Premiership club.

He was reported by the Phakaaati as saying: "I would like to thank the president, Sandile Zungu. I had meetings with him, and he told me the plans he has for the team and that's why I came here.

"It's a new chapter for me and I hope I will be able to help the team - both on and off the field.

"I have been working really hard, obviously doing individual training to make sure that I am in good physical condition."

Tshabalala, who was also reportedly being chased by newly promoted Swallows FC, added: "We start against Pirates and then three days later there is another game, so it is going to be a tough season and I definitely think the guys are up to it."
