South African international Bongani Zungu has returned to the Premier Soccer League months after being shown the exit doors by Mamelodi Sundowns.

The former Rangers midfielder was earlier linked with a transfer move to Kaizer Chiefs but has opted to join another team in the Betway Premiership.

According to latest report, Zungu has joined AmaZulu on a free transfer after being without a club for nearly six months.

The Bafana Bafana midfielder was reportedly close to reuniting with Rulani Mokwena at Wydad Athletic Club, but the deal fell through after the Moroccan giants and the South African international failed to reach an agreement.

Usuthu released an official statement on their website to confirm the signing of Zungu on a free transfer.

"AmaZulu Football Club have officially secured the services of experienced central midfielder Bongani Zungu (32) ahead of the second round of the Betway Premiership campaign," the club confirmed.

The South African midfielder stated his mission after joining the KwaZulu-Natal-based outfit on a free transfer.

"My personal goal is to help the team climb as high as possible on the log table, assist the younger players, and bring my experience to the squad," the former Mamelodi Sundowns star said.
