Former Mamelodi Sundowns and Kaizer Chiefs striker Edward Manqele has opened up about his football plans after he had his contract terminated at his club.
The 34-year-old, who rose to prominence with Free State Stars in 2011 before his big move to Sundowns the following season, had a five-month stint with GladAfrica Championship outfit Pretoria Callies this season before his contract was disappointingly terminated in January.
Having struggled with injury which led to talk in the fraternity that the burly forward might be nearing the end of his career, the Randfontein-born player says he has no plans of hanging his boots just yet.
“Before my contract with Pretoria Callies was terminated, I had an injury that disrupted my progress. It was a shoulder injury which I picked from a friendly game, and it really troubled me. But I made plans to have it attended to by the doctors and I have since recovered and I have been playing with guys like Lucky Lekgwathi and other legends just to keep fit until the end of the season. So, that’s the situation at the moment and I don’t think that I will be getting a team at this stage of the season because it is almost over. But I haven’t retired, and I still want to play football,” Manqele told the Siya crew.
Manqele has featured for the likes of Moroka Swallows, Chippa United, Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila, Royal Eagles and Real Kings during a career that failed to live up to its earlier promise.
