The South African midfielder claimed that despite being interested in joining Amakhosi, the move didn't go according to plan and it will also stand as the only regret in his football career.

"If there is one regret I have was during the 2019/20 campaign when I thought I was to join Kaizer Chiefs," he said.
"I recall the last match before we went on break due to the disease outbreak, where they defeated us 5-3 in Durban. When that season ended, I felt I was prepared for that move, but you know what? You can be ready to move, but things don't go as you intended.
"When you move, you should also confirm if the coach wants you. Sometimes, a club will want you, but when a manager comes, things change. It's something that also works against footballers."
