The former Orlando Pirates and SuperSport United striker is set to play his first Absa Premiership match in three years after he was signed by Cape Town City.
The 28-year-old has agreed to a three-and-half-year deal with Benni McCarthy’s side from Vitoria de Setubal in Portugal.
Erasmus says he tried his best to succeed as a footballer in Europe, but it didn’t happen. The 28-year-old says moving to Europe was never about money because “no amount of money can make you happy.”
“If it was the other way around I would’ve still been in Europe. I also got to look at my age and what I want for myself,” said the striker. “For me that is the most important thing as a footballer. So, for me my advice to youngsters would be that go and try and play. If you don’t play then you fade away and that is the reality of football.”
