Durban City FC is considering a potential transfer for former Magesi FC defender Tshegofatso Nyama, with a friendly on Saturday serving as a critical trial. The 32-year-old, who prefers left-back, has been training with the club and is expected to feature in the match. A decision on his future will likely follow the game, with his performance determining whether he secures a contract.
Potential Move to Durban City
Nyama, who joined Magesi FC in February 2024, is seeking a return to the top flight after a challenging season with the Limpopo-based club. Magesi’s relegation to the second tier has not diminished his appeal, as his adaptability across positions, including left-back, remains a key asset. Durban City aims to fill the left-back vacancy left by Terrence Mashego’s move to Stellenbosch FC.
Nyama’s Career Journey
The defender began his career at TS Galaxy in 2008, drawing interest from Orlando Pirates before joining Cape Town City in 2021. After a stint with Magesi, he now faces a pivotal opportunity with Durban City. His trial with the club has already impressed officials, with a source stating, 'He’s been here, and he’s been looking good.'
Friendly Opportunity for Decision
The Saturday friendly will test Nyama’s readiness for the elite division. If he replicates his training form, Durban City is expected to offer him a contract. A successful trial would mark his return to top-flight football after Magesi’s relegation, while the club gains a versatile option for their left-back position.
