AmaZulu FC are currently assessing 19-year-old goalkeeper Fanele Mngomezulu. The young shot-stopper was previously on the books of Orbit College FC.
Usuthu are looking to strengthen their squad ahead of the new Betway Premiership season. Finding top young talent is a key strategic move for any club planning for long-term stability.
Friendly Match Assessment
A source revealed to Soccer Laduma that Mngomezulu has been training with the team. He also featured in a friendly match against ABC Motsepe League side Mvoti FC.
However, no official decision has been made yet. The club is still evaluating his potential before offering a contract.
Growing Interest From Rivals
AmaZulu are not the only side keeping tabs on the teenager. According to the source, other Betway Premiership clubs showed interest after watching his performance in the recent friendly.
This added interest puts pressure on Usuthu. They may need to act quickly if they want to secure his signature.
At just 19 years old, Mngomezulu represents an exciting prospect for the future. Youth development remains crucial for top-flight teams aiming to build competitive squads without breaking the bank.
AmaZulu FC were contacted for an official statement, but they had not responded at the time of publication.
