Talented youngster Mlondi Mtshali has signed his first professional contract with Betway Premiership side Golden Arrows.
At just 15, Mtshali has already gotten exposure of the first team atmosphere though he is more likely to be deployed in Abafana Bes’thende’s DStv Diski Challenge squad for the season.
Mtshali hails from KwaMashu Township, in the KwaZulu-Natal province and located some 19km north of Durban and is already been touted as the next big thing in South African football, with his mother, Simphiwe, a huge insipiration in his young football career.
The diminutive trickster joins Arrows from Royal Brotherhood under the tutelage of coach Smiso though he is said to have been spotted during Arrows’ visit to J. G. Zuma High School, a public secondary school within the Bester suburb.
Mtshali has already been spotted in the first team’s pre-match rituals as well as post-match celebrations.
Only time will tell how head coach Manqoba Mngqithi looks to integrate the talented youngster into the senior team in future.
