Kickoff (Cape Town)
29 September 2008
Swaziland international midfielder Wonder Nhleko has surfaced at First Division Inland Stream side University of Pretoria with the hope of sealing a move after being discarded by Platinum Stars.
Nhleko has spent the past week at TUKS impressing Steve Barker while getting close to clinching a move back to the First division.
The winger has previously played in the First Division for FC AK and spent last season struggling for game time at The Tycoons.
"Wonder is still with us and we are hopeful that we will sign him because he has been looking good at training. We should have a final decision on him by the end of the week. We will just wait for the coach to make up the final decision before we work towards sorting out everything else," says Tuks' manager Graham Oosthuis.
Stars made it clear that Nhleko was not in their plans this season and granted him the right to look elsewhere for a club.
The 27-year-old was initially linked with a loan move to Coastal Stream side Hanover Park, but that move fell through.
