Hunt vows to help Ntshumayelo revive football career

Bidvest Wits coach Gavin Hunt has vowed to help Thandani Ntshumayelo get back into shape, as he starts his search for a new team following a ban.


Ntshumayelo, who successfully appealed his four year drug ban which has kept him out of action for the past two years, is currently training with the Clever Boys as he looks to work his way to full fitness.

The former SuperSport United coach revealed that he called Ntshumayelo regularly while he was at home serving the ban and trying to motivate him.

“It’s true, he will train with us. I have known him since he was a young player at SuperSport United,” Hunt told reporters.

“I know he is a talented player, he just turned 28, that’s why I helped him I couldn’t watch him go through that.

“It doesn’t mean he is signing with us, he might sign for another team and that is okay. I just want to help him get back to doing what he does best, and to carry on with his life.”
