Ajax Cape Town midfielder Lance Davids has signed a three-year deal with Belgium Pro League club Lierse S.K and will be returning to Europe after the World Cup.
Davids has been back in South Africa for the past 18 months first doing duty for SuperSport United before returning to his home town.
"I signed a three year deal with Lierse on Saturday. This is all happening because I have had a good season with Ajax. They came here to close the deal. What has impressed me about the club is that the new Egyptian owners have shown tremendous ambition," says Davids who has previously played in Germany and Sweden.
The Belgium club was promoted into the top league at the end of last season and has recently been bought by Egyptian businessman Maged Samy who also owns Wadi Degla Sporting Club back in his homeland.
Davids is currently in camp with Bafana Bafana.
"Though I have been on the bench I just have to be ready for action instead of despairing about my situation. As a player you can never be happy to sit out but we are one team and one nation. Being on the bench is frustrating but it is also a positive in a way," says Davids.
