Santos complete Schalkwyk deal

Posted: 2012-01-18 09:40

Gert Schalkwyk will finally resume his football career after signing a contract with Santos.

The former Kaizer Chiefs and Orlando Pirates had been training with the Cape Town-based club since last year, having left Maritzburg United and missed out on signing with Golden Arrows.

Santos chairman Goolam Allie confirms to KickOff.com the signing of the 29-year-old, but refused to divulge details of the contract. Schalkwyk will wear the number 14 jersey.

Simphiwe!That combination was only evident during the Mtn 8,from there it was dimmed.

I just feel the mistake Gert made was leaving Celtic for Pirates.

Maybe he had the urge to spite Chiefs but that was not a good decision.

Players like Gert tend to struggle when they don't score goals because their play is more offensive football & once the hit a bad patch they are prune to criticism.
