"Katlego Mphela (born 29 November 1984 in Brits, North West) is a South African footballer who currently plays for Mamelodi Sundowns in the Premier Soccer League and South Africa.
His style of play includes challenging defenders with both pace and strength but he can still play deep as a supporting striker. He is nicknamed "Killer" for his finishing ability"

Sounds good....but we all know the Prem is a big step up!! (Are South Africa in the African Cup Of Nations?).

Visited NZ some time ago and got friends in dunedin, queenstown and christchurch......hoping to get back for next ski season...

Blimey....a negative post....surely it's not....it is....it's YAPPY!!

 

Perhaps we are looking in those sort of places, cause everyone is so overpriced in Europe. I assume that he is established enough to get a permit, you just have to be a full international (amongst other things)

South Africa international could be for the Premier League

Queens Park Rangers are understood to have made an enquiry for Mamelodi Sundowns striker Katlego Mphela.

The 27-year-old has an impressive record in the Premier Soccer League in South Africa and for the national team, which has earned him the nickname "Killer".

This record has brought him to the attention of new boss Mark Hughes, who is looking for striking reinforcements for his team.

Enquiry

Mphela's adviser, Glyn Binkin, confirmed there is interest in the marksman, but refused to confirm which team had registered it.

"There has been an enquiry made, but I can't comment further than that," Binkin told KickOff.com.

Mphela is currently the PSL's leading scorer with nine goals for the season and is the third highest Bafana Bafana scorer of all time with 22 goals in 44 matches.

Mphela would relish QPR move

Mamelodi Sundowns striker Katlego Mphela admits he would relish a move to join English Premier League side Queens Park Rangers.

Reports in England suggest that QPR boss Mark Hughes is eyeing up a swoop for the Bafana Bafana striker, with his agent Glyn Binkin confirming to KickOff.com that ‘there has been an enquiry made’ by an unknown club.

‘Killer’ reveals that he has yet to be informed of any interest, but acknowledges that he still harbours ambitions of returning to Europe following a two-year spell in France earlier in his career.

“No-one has talked to me about it yet so I don’t know anything,” he tells KickOff.com.

“I woke up in the morning and saw it on the Kick Off website that Glyn had confirmed there is interest in me from overseas. We’ll have to see what happens because it’s not up to me. If Sundowns want me to go then I will, but if they don’t then there is no problem.”

Mphela adds: “I’d love to go to any team in the English Premier League because it’s every player’s dream to play there so hopefully something will happen. Let’s just wait and see.”

Now 27, Mphela moved to France as a teenager to play for RC Strasbourg, but returned to South Africa to join SuperSport United. He moved to Sundowns in 2008 and went on trial with Scottish giants Glasgow Celtic back in July.

Have to admit that last paragraph is a slight worry...

 

yes, not wanting to write him off without knowing anything about him, but if he was any good, would he still be playing in SA at 27?

 

If Celtic didn't want him he'd be League One standard...

 

Sounds like a good player and another free kick specialist!

Also sounds like he would be willing to come.

 

where are all these africans coming from?!

 

Africa???

 

Errrr, Africa?...

 

you bastards

 

Africa?!

 

That was a sitter, couldn't miss

 

Oh for ****s sake

 

Torres isn't from Africa?

 

Need to learn to type quicker!
