After signing for Highlands Park, Tendai Ndoro will be looking to put the recent Ajax Cape Town ordeal behind him and it could all start with the clash against Kaizer Chiefs.

The 33-year-old found himself at the centre of one of South African football’s biggest sagas in recent years.

The player’s ineligibility to play for Ajax saw the club plunged into a bitter legal battle over the registration of Ndoro‚ who already turned out for two other clubs in that season and was thus not allowed to play for a third as per Fifa’s rules.

Ajax lost the drawn-out court battle, which went back and forth as the PSL and Ajax fought their respective claims and the Cape Town-based club were eventually docked nine points and relegated in what infamously became known as #NdoroGate.

Ndoro was brought to Ajax by his former coach at Orlando Pirates, Muhsin Ertugral, who was hoping the forward could fire them to safety.

The striker, however, only managed one goal in six starts in both league and cup competitions with Ajax eventually sidelining him and then letting him go after just six months.

The Zimbabwean striker is now back in the Absa Premiership after signing with the Lions of the North and it is thought that he could make his debut for the newly promoted club on Tuesday as Owen Da Gama’s team host Kaizer Chiefs.

Ndoro will be hoping to redeem himself in South Africa’s top flight after reportedly having struggled with psychological issues after what happened last season.
