The former top striker of Black Leopards, Rendani Ndou, will be in Polokwane City's colours when the activities for the new season start in the second week of August.

According to Ndou’s manager, Mr Calvin Sihwili, the 26-year-old goal poacher joined the only Limpopo side in the Absa Premiership Division after they signed a three-year contract.

Ndou, or Jethro as he is commonly known, joined Black Leopards from the Mpumalanga-based NFD side, Sivutsa Stars, in January this year. Although he had a two-year contract with Sivutsa Stars, the Maranzhe-born star stayed with the club for only 18 months. According to Sihwili, Sivutsa Stars failed to meet some of their contractual obligations, something that prompted him to terminate the contract six months before its expiry date.

When asked about his move to Polokwane City, he said he had been waiting for this moment for too long. He further indicated that he would work hard, so that he could become a regular player in the team. “I know that the competition is tough in the Premiership division, but I will do my best to ensure that I remain in the coach’s plans,” he said.

Ndou started his football career at the MMK Funeral Services League side, Mranzhe Hungry Lions. He later moved to MTM United Brothers, where he stayed for one season. He later migrated to the Vodacom Promotional League side, Vhembe FC, where he was a regular for the duration of his two-year contract.

When Vhembe FC sold their franchise to Basel FC, Ndou moved to Gauteng, where he joined Blackpool FC. Blackpool FC died a natural death a year after Ndou joined them and he moved on to Richards Bay in Kwazulu Natal, where he joined the other Vodacom League side, Island FC. A scout from Sivutsa Stars saw him during an off-season tournament and offered him a two-year contract.
