Bryce Moon return from Panathinaikos

Moon back at Ajax Cape Town

Posted: 2010-07-19 18:29

Bryce Moon will rejoin Ajax Cape Town on loan from Greek side Panathinaikos for the upcoming 2010/11 PSL season.

The Bafana Bafana international right-back, who can also play as a winger, returns to the club he left for Pana in Greece in 2008.

Things did not work out for him in Europe though, with injury limiting his playing time in his first season, and then a loan move to PAOK for the 2009/10 campaign that also failed to yield game-time.

Ajax CEO George Comitis has denied the loan deal, but Panathinaikos press officer Andreas Droukopoulos has confirmed that it will happen.

“There are just a few things to be sorted out, a few signatures to be put on paper, but everything has been agreed and I can say that this will definitely happen,” Droukopoulos said.

Moon is hoping to get his career back on track after missing out on a place in the 23-man Bafana squad for the 2010 World Cup.

His career has not been helped by an incident that led to the tragic death of a pedestrian, Mavis Ncube, hit by a car that Moon was driving after a party hosted by the Aaron Mokoena Foundation following the 2009 Confederations Cup.

Although he initially faced charges of culpable homicide, those were dropped in April this year, though prosecutors have insisted they could be reinstated after further investigations.

Moon will vie with junior international Nazeer Allie for a starting berth in the Ajax team, though Allie was used as a centre-back at times last season. Lance Davids, who has since left the Urban Warriors for Lierse in Belgium, also played in the right-back position.

What the fak??? It's about time our players take SA PSL serious. Moon was one of top performers in PSL and he'd be miles ahead had he stayed a little bit at Ajax.

Yha the Pirates charman has made his presence felt, Seema is gone, minus one trouble, Ive been longing for this.

This man needs serious cleansing, unishwa. For some potential to be reduced to bench-warmer, BB periphery and now return to AJAX.

Do what is right before Kamasutra destroys your God given talent. I still rate him highly though more so than my own PA GAXA.

his failure to play during the world cup, did not do his career any good, he must work hard now forget the past, limit his alcohol intake, STOP drinking and driving, focus on his soccer!

Bryce "Schumacher" Moon, you really came back to your lowest point man. First expelled from Bafana, now this!

Here goes Gaxa out of Bafana! Moon is a better player than Gaxa at Right Back on any given day. The problem is, will Pitso replace one of his favorites in Pa?

I bet you. If moon does not make it at right back, he still has the right wing position. Teko out! Go fight for your position in the centre please.
