South Africa: Nkosi Happy With Israel Deal

6 January 2009

Bafana Bafana midfielder Siyabonga Nkosi has clinched an 18-month contract in Israel with Maccabi Netanya.

"I have just arrived back from Israel where I went to finalise Nkosi's deal with Netanya. He has signed a year and half year contract with them, with an option to renew," says the former Amakhosi midfielder's agent Steve Kapeluschnik.

"The player is happy about his move to Israel and what is very important now is for him to get game time with his new club."

Nkosi moved to Israel after failing to get significant game time with Germany-based Arminia Bielefeld which he joined from Kaizer Chiefs two seasons ago.
