FOOTBALLER OF THE SEASON

AmaZulu Football Club is delighted to announce the arrival of seven exciting new officially
signings as Head Coach Arthur ‘Phakimpi” Zwane continues to shape his squad ahead of the
2026/27 Betway Premiership season.

The new additions reflect the club’s ambition to build on last season’s impressive fourth
Place, finish, and further strengthen the squad across all departments.
Joining Usuthu are promising left-back Omega Mdaka (23) from Stellenbosch FC, alongside
his former Stellies teammate and highly rated winger Khomotjo Lekoloane (28). Dynamic
midfielder Mncedi Vandala (29) arrives from Magesi FC, while experienced right-back
Keenan Phillips (26) joins after his spell with Lamontville Golden Arrows.

The midfield is further bolstered by the signing of Gape Morale (26) from Siwelele FC, while the club has
secured the services of Faveur Kouassi (24), an Ivorian goalkeeper who joins from Malian outfit Djobila AC to add depth and competition between the posts.

Completing AmaZulu FC’s recruitment drive is highly rated Kenyan striker Moses Shumah
(23), who joins the club following a prolific spell with Zambian Premier League champions
Power Dynamos. Shumah arrives in Durban on the back of an outstanding 2025/26
campaign, having found the back of the net 23 times in all competitions.
Commenting on the club’s latest acquisitions, AmaZulu FC President Sandile Zungu
expressed his confidence in the new arrivals and the club’s recruitment strategy.

“All seven signings form part of a carefully considered recruitment drive as we prepare for
the 2026/27 season. We are confident they possess the quality, character and ambition to
contribute positively to our objectives both on and off the field. On behalf of the AmaZulu
Football Club family, I warmly welcome each of them and wish them every success in the
green and white. We trust they will enjoy a rewarding journey with Usuthu and forge lasting
relationships with their teammates, our supporters and everyone associated with this great
club,” said Zungu.
