Linda Motlhalo of South Africa during the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup match against China at Parc des Princes on June 13 2019 in Paris, France.Banyana Banyana star midfielder Linda Motlhalo has joined Swedish side Djurgarden on a two-year contract.
The 21-year-old‚ who was tipped to be a future superstar by respected former Banyana coach Vera Pauw‚ spent the past two seasons in the United States with Houston Dash and in China with Beijing BG Phoenix FC. Djurgarden are no stranger to South Africans as they had midfielder Stephanie Malherbe on their books last season while the men’s side have had the likes of Lance Davids‚ Mark Mayambela and Siyabonga Nomvethe.“I look forward to new experiences and to experiencing a new atmosphere. I know it's a good league with sharp competition‚ I also know that Djurgarden has historically been a good team even though it was really tough last season.
She says she will tap the brains of Malherbe‚ whose 2019 season was ended prematurely by injury. “I played with her in the Olympics in 2016 so I know her well. I know she played in Djurgarden but I actually haven't talked to her yet about what it's like to play in Sweden. I hope I can join in and contribute to getting us higher up in the table this year. Hopefully we can join the upper tier.”“I need to get my visa ready but as soon as it's done I'll go to Sweden.
