‘He hasn’t given up on playing in the Premiership,’ a source told the Mgosi Squad.
Contrary to reports that former Mamelodi Sundowns midfielder Sibusiso Vilakazi has hung up his boots, the 34-year-old is still searching for a new club. Vilakazi is doing punditry work for SuperSport TV for Caf Champions League matches and it was thought that he has called time on his career.
The former Bidvest Wits midfielder has been clubless since parting ways with Sekhukhune United at the end of last season. Vilakazi is still training with Betway Premiership side SuperSport United to keep fit. According to a source close to the player, the skilful midfielder is looking for the right fit.

“Look, there have been a number of clubs who have made inquiries about him. Some of them are in the NFD but he wants to take his time before deciding on his next move,” the source said.
“At the end of the day, he hasn’t given up on playing in the premiership as he feels he can still add value. Nothing concrete has come yet and he’s hoping that something will materialise in January.”
