Former Sundowns defender seeks fresh start with Leopards

Black Leopards new defender Siyabonga Zulu says his move up north is a fresh start. Zulu joined Leopards on a three-year deal this week after spending the last week training with the club.

The left-back was released by Mamelodi Sundowns in January for disciplinary issues.

Zulu says he wanted a change of environment from Gauteng.

The 25-year-old says he has been busy developing himself after his exit from Sundowns by going to school, trying to open a business and training.

Zulu adds that he does not regret how he left the former African champions.

Zulu is confident that Lidoda Duvha is going to do well in the season starting next month.

The player believes Leopards can compete for at least one domestic cup and try to compete in the league as well.

Zulu adds that he is going to keep his head down and focus to avoid ghosts from the past troubling him. – Report by Lethabo Kganyago
