Hunt to unleash Ntshumayelo in Wits friendly

Bidvest Wits coach Gavin Hunt says Thandani Ntshumayelo will feature in the Clever Boys' friendly on Tuesday.


Ntshumayelo has been training with Wits for some time as he tries to reviving his career following a ban. And Hunt is pleased with Ntshumaleyo’s fitness and believes he is ready to get back on the field.

“Thandani is thinner than me now. He is looking very good and he is training every day and getting fit‚” Hunt was quoted as saying by SowetanLive.

“He’s running and enjoying the game again. I’m happy for him and his attitude is very good that’s the most important thing.

“I’ve got a friendly (on Tuesday) and I’m going to give him a little bit of run but so far I’m very happy with him‚” added Hunt.

Hunt and Ntshumayelo worked together at SuperSport United before the midfielder moved to Orlando Pirates.

It was at Pirates where Ntshumayelo was caught using cocaine by South African Institute for Drug- Free Sport (SAIDS) and was handed a four-year ban, but that ban after he successfully appealed his sentence in September.
