Former Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs winger William Twala has completed a move to Indian second-division side Madan Maharaj.
The 31-year-old joins the team from Bhopal following a brief stint with Pretoria Callies FC in the GladAfrica Championship.
Twala now becomes the most high-profile signing in the club’s history, following in the footsteps of fellow South Africans Sameehg Doutie, Sibongakonke Mbatha and Cole Alexander, who have all had spells playing in India.
Over the course of his career, Twala has scored 11 goals and assisted a further 16 from 158 appearances across all competitions playing for the likes of Pirates, Chippa United, Golden Arrows, Chiefs, Maritzburg United, Free State Stars, Erbil SC and most recently Callies.
“Madan Maharaj Football Club completes the signing of the biggest profile ever in the history of I-League Qualifiers,” the club announced this past Friday.
