Anthony Gordinho joins Wits

The younger of Benoni’s football-playing Gordinho brothers, Anthony (21), has made a transfer from SuperSport United to 2016/2017 Premier Soccer League champions Bidvest Wits.

The versatile player, who can play in defence or midfield, spent last season on loan to the University of Pretoria (Tuks) as he stepped up to senior football, playing 22 games under head coach Shaun Bartlett.

Tuks failed to win promotion.

The former Benoni High School learner is hoping to make an impact in coach Gavin Hunt’s team.

“It feels amazing to be part of the team that won the league and that is looking to continue winning silverware and trophies,” he said.

“I am hoping to establish myself in the team.”

Asked how his time at Tuks improved him as a player he said: “I’ve grown as a player and my game has matured.

“Getting 22 games under my belt and scoring four goals at Tuks in the National First Division (NFD) really helped my confidence.”
