A journey of growth and resilience for Ngezana

Since his move from South Africa, Ngezana’s football journey has seen him blossom into one of the top defenders in Romania. In his debut season, he played a crucial role as FCSB clinched the league title, earning individual honours such as Foreign Player of the Season and a place in the Team of the Season. He added the Romanian Super Cup earlier in the current campaign.

Despite battling back-to-back injuries at the start of the 2024/25 season, Ngezana fought his way back into the starting eleven. His contributions have been vital in helping FCSB maintain their defensive solidity, keeping numerous clean sheets in the second half of the season.

His presence at the heart of the defence has been crucial, particularly during the run-in as FCSB pulled away from their rivals.

Key stats from the title-winning campaign

In the current campaign, Ngezana has made 22 league appearances and scored one goal. His presence at the heart of the defence has been crucial, particularly during the run-in as FCSB pulled away from their rivals.

His form has not gone unnoticed, with South African fans proudly following his exploits abroad. Just hours after his former club Kaizer Chiefs lifted the Nedbank Cup back home, Ngezana was crowned champion in Eastern Europe — a poetic twist for the player once seen as a promising talent at Naturena.
