Alex goal poaching Beast joins Nedbank Cup Goliaths Dondol Stars
Gabriel "Beast" Madu says he is settling in well in the Mamelodi side, especially with the help of former players from Alexandra.
Amajananda FC’s leading goal poacher of the 2022/23 season of the Alexandra Northrand Local Football Association’s Promotional League has joined the Mamelodi-based outfit Dondol Stars that has etched a reputation of being the Goliaths of the Nedbank Cup 2023.
Gabriel ‘Beast’ Madu signed a season deal with the giant-killing Stars, paving his way to team up with fellow Alex players Tshepang ‘Messi’ Phala and Sibonile ‘Reeds’ Nomala, whom he knows from Alex and said they have been of great help to him as he settles into the side.
Though he has not played so far due to a knee injury he sustained at training just before the first game, Beast said he was settling in pretty well in the team with obvious help from ‘Messi and ‘Reeds’.
The gangling strike described the other offer he received from JBM FC as pretty much the same as that of Dondol but he opted for them as he needed a new challenge outside his comfort zone of Alex.
“The team accepted me with warm arms and the team manager ensured that I knew everything that I needed to know in the club. The senior players too have been so great and helping me where I needed help and to understand how the team plays,” Beast said.
He also mentioned the great assistance and acceptance he was getting from the coaches. “They are playing a critical role in helping me improve my game in the team and to understand what is expected from me.”
