“I am so excited. The guys were very good and nice to me; hence, I say I feel like I am home,” said Maluleka.

“I feel like I have been here for weeks, yet it’s only my first week. But so far so good. The training sessions, the combos, and the understanding between the guys and me. So I am so happy and excited.”

As one of the experienced campaigners in the Premier League, so much is expected from Maluleka, and the former AmaTuks and Ajax Cape Town midfielder is ready for the challenge that lies ahead of him.

“I think it’s important for me to be a human being, besides the experience and everything that I come with.

“But these guys, like you say, inspiration is key, as is the contribution. I also want to let them know the ins and outs of the game. I just need to push them and give them a little bit of encouragement,” Maluleka added.
