SA star joins Fletcher Lowe's club in Portugal

A South African teenage star has officially joined Estoril Praia, the same Portuguese club as South Africa U-20 goalkeeper Fletcher Smythe Lowe. 

Eighteen-year-old South African goalkeeper Mackay-Wandile Msezane has signed for Estoril in Portugal.

The teenager previously featured in the youth ranks of Eastbourne United in England, as well as Sporting CP in Portugal. 

Msezane will now play for Estoril’s U-19 team, the same side his compatriot Smythe Lowe represented last season. 

Reacting to the move on his Instagram, Msezane said: "New chapter. Same mission. [I'm] grateful to join Estoril Praia. 'With God, all things are possible. — Matthew 19:26'"

Msezane becomes the third South African to appear on the books of Estoril.

In addition to Smythe Lowe, Johannesburg-born former left-back Ricardo Nunes was the first South African to play for the club.
