Njabulo Blom Happy with His Move to the MLS!

Njabulo Blom Happy with His Move to the MLS! The utility player plies his trade in the USA after his move at the beginning of the year.

Njabulo Blom left Kaizer Chiefs for St. Louis City in the January transfer window. He has revealed that he is pleased with the move to the MLS. 

Since arriving in the USA, at his new club, Blom has remained an ever-present player in their squad. He is coached by fellow South African Bradley Carnell. 

He also spoke on how competitive the league is, compared to the PSL.

“I’ve heard a lot of people saying the league in the USA is not as competitive, they say. 

“I feel like you only see it when you are there, I’ve been there for like a year now and I think it’s a very competitive league because a lot of players from Europe are coming in now and also players from South America make the league a bit better.

“My [idea] was to use it as a stepping stone to better leagues in Europe and also grow as a person, it is really a good stepping stone especially when you are from Africa and it’s a good league, good environment.

Blom had six months left on his contract at Kaizer Chiefs before leaving. He had offers from other local club but took a leap of faith in heading oversees. 

“It was in November, and I was still trying to figure out my next move because there were things with Chiefs that weren’t good – we were not in good terms in terms of my contract. 

“My agent told me there’s a new team in US they like kind of interested in me, and it might be a good move for me, a stepping stone to go to Europe.

“I sat down with my mom and my dad, my family we spoke about it. It was really a good move for me especially to grow as a human being move out of my comfort zone find myself as a young adult. 

“We finalised everything in December.” He spoke.

The midfielder will be hoping to earn some minutes in this FIFA break. Njabulo Blom Happy with His Move to the MLS!
