Kaizer Chiefs defender Njabulo Ngcobo is realising the chance to add another piece of silverware to his collection when they take on TS Galaxy in the Nedbank Cup.

Ngcobo was part of the Warriors side that won the inaugural DStv Compact Cup when they beat Coastal United 2-1 under the tutelage of Dylan Kerr.

The defender has since returned to Amakhosi as they prepare to face TS Galaxy in the Round of 32 at the FNB Stadium on Saturday, 12 February.

“I thank the supporters for voting for me, I am really happy to see that they believed in me. The experience was good, mixing with players from other teams helped me learn a lot,” Ngcobo told his club’s official website.

“Those two games were special for me. I have not played much as a defender this season and it was very important for me to play in that role again. I did well over the two games and there is still room for improvement for me in my game.

“I these kinds of situations, like when you at the national team, you learn from different players. Happy Jele was playing alongside me and I took a lot from the experience. When you play with guys who have been around for a long time you try to learn as much as you can. I am happy to have given my best and gained from it.”

Ngcobo is now setting his sights on returning to Amakhosi as they prepare for the first game of 2022.

“The reason I am a Chiefs player is because I want to win for the team, which makes the Nedbank Cup very important for us.”

“Since we are coming into the tournament after a break the camp would have also helped us to be competitive. Everyone is ready to play the way the guys are training, and you can see everyone is ready to compete.

“We know the importance of every game and we cannot detail just how important our round of 32 game against TS Galaxy is and we have to work hard to be successful,” Ngcobo concluded.
