Bidvest Wits goalkeeper Moeneeb Josephs has revealed that he does not mind playing the back-up role at the club after signing a new contract.

The 37-year-old has extended his stay at Sturrock Park for another year and, despite playing second-choice to Darren Keet, and recently even third-choice to young reserve Kyle Peters, Josephs revealed to KickOff.com that he is passionate about giving back to the game that has fed his family throughout his 21-year career.

‘Feeding my family still motivates me. This is something that… my bru, I come from the ghetto. This game has helped me so much, I don’t worry about being second or third choice,’ he added.

‘As long as I can be a better me every day, and if I don’t play I’ll be there for the team, and if I play then I’m still helping the team. In the end, my family is eating, everyone is happy, and that motivates me. The football is the outlet to get my family to a better place in their lives.

‘Football has been good to me, and I need to give back to football for as long as I possibly can,’ concluded the former Bafana Bafana goalkeeper.
