Bafana midfielder Bongani Zungu makes his long-awaited return to first team football

Zungu had been sidelined by injury, paperwork and weight issues at the Ligue 2 side following a controversial loan spell at Glasgow Rangers in Scotland last season. His last first team game before this weekend was an Old Firm Derby against Glasgow Celtic in mid-April, but he can now, hopefully, look forward to re-establishing himself in the Amiens side and putting himself in the shop window for the right move, either in January or at the end of the campaign when his contract expires.

The 29-year-old had played twice for Amiens’ reserve side in what is effectively the fifth tier in France, but will be pleased to not only get a first team run, but also to last almost the entire game, a sign that he is starting to regain full fitness. Amiens are desperate to get Zungu back to his best because he is an asset both on the pitch and potentially for the transfer market if they can move him on next month. To do that they need him to show he is fit and firing.

The French club’s coach Philippe Hinschberger says it was always the plan to give Zungu a couple of games in the reserves before unleashing him again on Ligue 2. “Bongani played 90 minutes with the reserves, it was the plan and he will be in the group for Guingamp,” Hinschberger said ahead of the match.
