The AmaZulu development graduate, who made a name for himself with a stellar performance at Moroka Swallows, joined Kaizer Chiefs in 2021. His time at Swallows was marked by winning the PSL Defender of the Season award and becoming a regular in the Bafana Bafana setup.
Challenges at Kaizer Chiefs
In his first season with Kaizer Chiefs, Ngcobo faced some challenges that saw him lose his place in the team. This led to speculation about a possible loan move in his second year, with AmaZulu and Richards Bay reportedly interested in acquiring his services.
Sekhukhune United Leads the Race
Recently, it’s been revealed that Sekhukhune United has taken the lead over the KwaZulu-Natal clubs in the pursuit of the 29-year-old defender. Sources suggest that all parties have agreed for Ngcobo to join Sekhukhune United on a free transfer come July.
Manager’s Statement
When SABC Sport reached out to his manager, Sboniso Ngubane, on Sunday, he confirmed the ongoing negotiations with Sekhukhune United but remained tight-lipped about Ngcobo’s next move. “We are still negotiating with them,” Ngubane told the broadcaster’s sports desk.
Announcement Expected Soon
The final decision regarding Ngcobo’s future is expected before the end of June. Meanwhile, Kaizer Chiefs are also preparing to announce changes to their squad, including the appointment of a new coach.
