When did Percy Tau start playing soccer? The celebrated international footballer made his professional debut in the Premier Soccer League (PSL) in February 2014 with Mamelodi Sundowns. In that game, they were playing the Orlando Pirates where he came on as an 85th-minute substitute in a 1-0 loss. He had to wait for his first goal, one among many Percy Tau goals to come, in March 2014 against the Golden Arrows in the 90th minute.
He also played in CAF Champions League where he got his first international club goal in March 2015 against Congolese side TP Mazembe. Two seasons later, his career had not really picked up so he left and joined Witbank Spurs on loan. His loan spell was extremely successful, which is why he went back to Mamelodi the next season and featured throughout the season where they won the CAF Champions League.
In the FIFA Club World Cup, Percy made his first appearance against Kashima Antlers in December 2016 where Mamelodi was downed 2-0. The Percy Tau goals kept on coming with the highest tally in the 2017–18 season where he scored 11 and saw Sundowns lift the league. Eventually, European sides noticed him and this resulted in the Percy Tau transfer to Brighton.
Percy Tau 2018 four-year contract that he signed with the English side did not last long. Unfortunately, things did not work out in the Percy Tau new team due to UK permit issues, which is why he went out on loan to Union SG in Belgium. The transfer fee was undisclosed although some reports suggest Brighton paid around £2.7 million (R50 million), which is a record fee in Mzansi.
His excellent form and further permit issues saw him join Club Brugge on loan again in July 2019. With Club Brugge, he made his debut in August 2019 where he scored a stunner against Sint-Truiden. As a nice addition, he has now played in the UEFA Champions League with Club Brugge.
