Seedat signs with Wits

Ebrahim Seedat has signed for Bidvest Wits

National Under-20 winger Ebrahim Seedat has signed for Bidvest Wits, KickOff.com can confirm.

But the player has done so without the knowledge of his minders at the ASD Academy, who had organised him a contract at Lokeren in Belgium at the start of last season and were expected to find him a new home in the PSL.

Seedat spent the last campaign in Belgium, but after a year decided to return home to South Africa, citing homesickness and a lack of first-team opportunities at Lokeren.

He was a star for the Amajita side that took part in the 8-Nations Tournament earlier this year, which prompted a number of Premier League teams to take interest in him, including Ajax Cape Town.

The ASD Academy issued a statement to KickOff.com on Friday, saying that they were surprised by the latest development, but wished Seedat well.

"We had a trial lined up for Ebrahim at a PSL club, however upon his return from Amijita he was invited to Wits for a trial by the head coach [Antonio Habas]," the statement reads.

"This latest development has clearly been carried out with the involvement of a rogue agent, as Ebrahim's own agent [John Steptoe] was unaware of developments. That discrepancy aside, ASD Cape Town wishes Ebrahim all the best at his new club."

Bidvest Wits CEO Jose Ferreira was not available for comment.
