Former Mamelodi Sundowns FC attacker Lesiba Nku could be heading back to his former team.
The 30-year-old winger is currently without a club. He parted ways with Sekhukhune United FC at the end of last season. Since then, he has been keeping fit independently and even trained with Limpopo amateur side Sunrise FC.
Now, a return to Marumo Gallants FC has emerged as a serious option to boost their squad. However, Polokwane City FC are also keeping a close eye on his situation.
A Familiar Path
Nku originally developed in the youth ranks at Polokwane City. He later made his senior breakthrough at Gallants. During his first stint there, he played a vital role in helping the club reach the CAF Confederation Cup semifinals.
His strong performances earned him a five-year contract at Sundowns in 2023 under former coach Rulani Mokwena. After falling out of favour with the Brazilians, he spent time on loan at Stellenbosch FC before moving on.
Strategic Context
Free-agent movements often present valuable opportunities for clubs looking to add proven quality without transfer fees. Nku brings top-flight experience and international continental exposure. A move back to a familiar environment could help him regain his best form quickly.
Whether he chooses Gallants or Polokwane City, his next decision will be crucial for the rest of his career.
