The Cape Town-born hard-tackling midfield grafter is now looking to repay the faith shown by Gavin Hunt’s SuperSport side.

As also reported by The South African, the 25-year-old anchorman signed a permanent three-year contract with Matsatsantsa A Pitori thus making a return to the club after a successful loan stint.

Looking at his spell with the Chloorkop-based Sundowns, Margeman was loaned out to Moroka Swallows during the 2021/2022 campaign and was again shipped out to Matsatsantsa last year.

“As a player, you don’t want to go on loan and keep changing clubs, so I made the decision to make this a permanent move and I think at this stage of my career, it’s the right move. Now I just have to work hard and repay SuperSport for making it possible,” he told the media.

“I think now that I’m stable at a club, it gives me more comfort that I’ll be here for the next three seasons and as soon as any player gets comfortable that’s when they want to express themselves and want to give more for the team.”

After an impressive season with Hunt at SuperSport last season, Margeman managed to catch the eye of Bafana boss Hugo Broos.

He was included in Broos’ 35-member preliminary Bafana squad for the crucial back-to-back 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Liberia back in March.

“It’s always good to represent the national team and I got two call-ups last season and missed the last camp through injury but for me it’s one of the goals that I look forward to, being part of the national team,” he expressed.

“Now when the league starts, I want to continue from last season and push myself so I can keep better standards so when the coach announces his squad, I’m there with him.”
