Bummer: George Lebese Still Without a Club After Going on Trial at Swallows FC

• Former Kaizer Chiefs and Mamelodi Sundowns player George Lebese's trial at Swallows FC didn't quite work out
• The forward has been looking for a place to play his football but he failed to impress at the Mzansi football club
• Coach Brandon Truter explained that Lebese is a quality player but he's not exactly the right fit for his current squad

George Lebese is unfortunately still not tied to any football club and his trial at Swallows FC didn't go according to plan. The player had to return to South Africa after playing in the US due to Covid-19 and hasn't been able to find a new place to play his football.

In an effort to get back to the football playing scene in Mzansi, Lebese decided to go on trial at Swallows FC. He had been training with the club for some time and coach Brandon Truter said that he would be monitoring his progress before making a decision.

A decision was made eventually and Swallows decided not to give Lebese a contract with the club. Truter explained why this decision was made and doesn't doubt Lebese's quality.

“George is a top player, there’s no doubt about it. But we also had to get the right players in the right positions, and the right characteristics as well," he said, according to a report by The Citizen.

Truter made sure to highlight that he knew Lebese is a good player but Swallows is not the right place for him at the moment.

“Any other day I would take George in my team. You can be the best player but if it affects the whole make-up of the squad and how we want to play then I would rather side with the team than the individual,” said Truter.
