Lindokuhle Mbatha Wants to Play Until He Reaches 40 Years of Age! The TS Galaxy midfielder is 36 years old and hopes to play for another 4 seasons at least.
Lindokuhle Mbatha is hopeful to join an esteemed list of PSL players who played beyond 40 years of age. This prestigious list includes Siyabonga Nomvethe and Shoes Moshoeu.
The midfielder is one of the most important players in the TS Galaxy side. He contributed with 5 goals and 5 assists from midfield last season.
Mbatha is dependant on his physical fitness if he is to achieve this landmark.
“It will depend on my legs if they can take me into the levels of Shoes and Bhele (Nomvethe).” He told the club website.
“I don’t want to lie; I also want to reach their mark. If my legs can take me there, I’ll be very proud.
“I know, it won’t be easy,” he added.
“Most players don’t reach the age I’m at in our football. For me, that’s still an achievement.
“I want to thank God for taking me where I am. Whatever level I’ll reach, I’ll be thankful and happy,” the ambitious Mbatha spoke.
Like many players in the DSTV Premiership, Mbatha is the breadwinner at home. So, playing for as long as possible ensures that he can bring a stable income to his family.
“There are people who are reliant on me. I have a family and kids that I have to take care of.
“That’s why I always give my best when I’m on the field of play. I have to make these people proud because they are putting their hopes in me and not everyone else.” He concluded.
TS Galaxy kick off their league campaign against Kaizer Chiefs in two weeks’ time. Lindokuhle Mbatha Wants to Play Until He Reaches 40 Years of Age!
