Following his departure from Richards Bay FC at the conclusion of the last season, Ntsako Makhubela is currently training with Durban City FC as he seeks a new club. Â
The attacking midfielder joined the Natal Rich Boyz during the second half of the previous season, making the move in March.
This transition came after he had unsuccessful trials at AmaZulu FC, where the club opted not to sign him despite the positive impression he made on coach Pablo Franco Martin.
Makhubela played a pivotal role, helping Richards Bay retain their status in the PSL top-flight, contributing to their success in the Promotional/Relegation playoffs held in June.
During his brief tenure of three months at the Zululand-based club, he scored one goal in ten appearances in all competitions.

FARPost understands that the 30-year-old attacking midfielder has been with the Motsepe Foundation Championship club since last week, trying luck under the watchful eye of head coach Simo Dladla.
Should Makhubela put pen to paper, the two will reunite, having previously worked together at Real Kings before the skilful midfielder went to Lamontville Golden Arrows in 2019.
Besides the aforementioned clubs, Makhubela has also turned out for Orlando Pirates and Moroka Swallows.
