Mashiane has been part of the Chiefs senior squad since 2019. He graduated from the club’s development structures after some impressive performances for the Amakhosi juniors.

“To be honest, I can’t compare this feeling with any feeling that I have ever felt before. But, it comes with pressure to play for a big team like Chiefs. All young kids who play football want to see themselves getting to where I am today. I think it’s the best feeling ever,” the Amakhosi left-back told Vodacom Soccer.

The defender also revealed that he likes sharing a room with midfielder Nkosingiphile Ngcobo during camps.

“I have shared a room with two people in camp, that’s Itumeleng Khune and Nkosingiphile Nqcobo. But most of the time I share with Ngcobo. And when it comes to Mshini, he is a quiet guy and very peaceful,” he added.

“But when he starts talking, he always makes sense. So, I like being around him most of the time because I know that he will encourage me.”

Mashiane has struggled to command a starting berth at Chiefs and this season, the left-back has only made four appearances for Chiefs – three in the DStv Premiership and one in the Nedbank Cup.

With the league action set to resume this weekend after the international break, the former South Africa Under-20 and Under-23 player will be hoping to get game time in the last 10 games of the season.
