During this period, the 2012 Africa Cup of Nations-winning star with Zambia registered five goals and one assist in 55 appearances, according to Transfermarkt.
In his final season at Stellenbosch, 2021/22, Sinkala helped the Western Cape club achieve a fourth-place finish – their highest ever at the time.
Impressively, Sinkala is well-decorated, having won three major CAF competitions, including AFCON with Chipolopolo, as well as the Champions League and two Confederation Cups with TP Mazembe.
