There were general mixed feelings about the DStv Compact Cup, but Njabulo Ngcobo has explained how it gave him the opportunity to do what he hasn’t done much of at Kaizer Chiefs since joining them last year.

He was part of the Warriors team that clinched the inaugural competitions last weekend at FNB Stadium under coach Dylan Kerr.

“I thank the supporters for voting for me, I am really happy to see that they believed in me. The experience was good, mixing with players from other teams helped me learn a lot,” Ngcobo told the club’s official website.

The defender said he was delighted to get the rare opportunity to play in a familiar role since Chiefs coach Stuart Baxter has used him more as a central midfielder.

“Those two games were special for me. I have not played much as a defender this season and it was very important for me to play in that role again. I did well over the two games and there is still room for improvement for me in my game,” he said.

Amakhosi return to action since December last year to face TS Galaxy in the opening round of the Nedbank Cup next weekend.
