WHAT KABO YELLOW SAID

Chatting to the media since his arrival at Matsatsantsa, the former AmaTuks and Chippa number nine says he was given a bit of a blank message.

“He [Rulani Mokwena] just told me that I should just try one more time,” Ighodaro said via FARPost.

“To try one more time then after this, I will be back home. So just this move, then there is an opportunity [to go back].

“It’s not about [doing] enough. It’s about readiness. I don’t know, maybe they think I am not ready. They gave me another loan, so I think after this [SuperSport United loan]. I think I will be ready enough,” he said.
