Mahlambi is back in South Africa after a trial at the Portuguese side and his agent Glyn Binkin said while they liked the 19 year-old, they didn’t feel he was quite ready to go straight into their first team squad.

“He will come back to Wits for another couple of months and then we will see,” Binkin told Phakaaathi Plus.
