The 36-year-old former Bafana Bafana‚ Mamelodi Sundowns and Platinum Stars player's return to the top-flight will make him one of the oldest players in the league along with the likes of Reneilwe Letshlolonyane and Jabu Maluleke.
Mere said the past five years were challenging for him and he suffered a lot of setbacks in his career."During this time‚ it has been nothing but a downward spiral for me as I was relegated with Platinum Stars. "I asked myself a lot of questions because I didn’t know what I was going to do‚ because football is the only thing that I know.
“Nobody gave me a chance before I signed with Swallows because they said I was a reject and all that‚" he said. "There is also Jabu Maluleke and Thabiso Semenya at Polokwane City‚ and others who are older than me and are still playing.” "They gave me a small room and said in the morning we will go to training and everything will be sorted out.
