Ex-Pirates star struggling to find a club

Myeni hasn’t been with a team since leaving SuperSport United two years ago.

The winger hasn’t been able to find a team since then and has been playing amateur football while training with a couple of teams in the ABC Motsepe League.

“It’s unbelievable how things can quickly turn around for the worst for one, I mean this guy was living large a couple of years ago and right now it is slowly fading away. He can’t find a team. You will find him playing in townships playing amateur football. I’m afraid that if he doesn’t manage to make a plan soon everyone will forget him. All the money that he has made in the past will also go away and become one of those players who had it but ended up with nothing,” said the source.
