Mduduzi Mdantsane struggled to find his feet during his Kaizer Chiefs days. The 30-year-old midfielder is now playing for Richards Bay.

Richards Bay midfielder Mduduzi Mdantsane has spoken for the first time since leaving Kaizer Chiefs.

The 30-year-old midfielder is currently on loan to the Natal Rich Boys until the end of the season. Since the arrival of Nasreddine Nabi at Kaizer Chiefs, Mdantsane has not played a single match.

With Amakhosi signing Thabo Cele, the writing was on the wall for the former Cape Town City playmaker.

“Well, it was a mutual agreement between the team and me. I felt I needed some time to play and getting an opportunity to work with Richards Bay as they have a lot of young talents in the team and how they play football,” Mdantsane told FARPost.

“I believed it would suit my style of football and also enjoy myself on the field. So, I feel blessed and grateful to work with the team.

“My stay at Chiefs hasn’t been that long, but as a player, I always try to enjoy each and every moment to be on the field and environment. So, to sum it all up, it has been great and blessed to be around,” Mdantsane said.

Since leaving Kaizer Chiefs, the 30-year-old has only featured once for Richards Bay. He was an unused substitute during their 1-1 draw with Stellenbosch FC this past weekend. With Amakhosi looking stable in the midfield, it looks less likely that Mdantsane will return to Naturena at the end of the season.

Before the start of the season, he was involved in a car accident which saw him missed pre-season thus costing him a place in the Kaizer Chiefs matchday squad.
