Training with Cape Town City
GOAL South Africa dropped the video of Serero training below.
According to iDiski Times, Serero's return is not yet formalized, with no official talks about a deal with Cape Town City, but he is expected to train with the team in the coming days. The bond between Serero and Ertugral goes back to their time together at Ajax Cape Town, where the pair enjoyed significant success.
A Career of Milestones
Serero has amassed 450 club appearances, scoring 34 goals and providing 33 assists over the course of his career. Additionally, the midfielder has earned 43 international caps with Bafana Bafana, scoring twice.
His return to South Africa is expected to stir excitement among fans and players alike, especially considering his pedigree in both domestic and international football.
What’s Next for Serero?
Although no formal talks have taken place, Cape Town City’s interest in the former Ajax star signals a potential move to the club. However, the possibility of one of the PSL’s big three clubs making a late push for Serero’s services remains. With his experience and legacy, whichever club secures his signature will undoubtedly benefit from his presence both on and off the field.
On Facebook fans have reacted to these news with mixed reactions
Dee Watte on Facebook
I believe he's made enough money for himself and had a successful career. Looking at his age, I believe he can be a good addition to teams like Cape Town City, Supersport United, Amazulu and Stellies. They can be serious contenders for cups most of the time and such experienced players can help them without much pressure of expectations from supporters of bigger teams. He's at least 3 years past his major contract from SA big clubs
