Is playing for Gateshead in the Conference Premier! He's not long been 28. 

I know that he's been trying to land an English club for a while and had trials at Leeds and Coventry, but a bit low down the pyramid isn't it? He won a South Africa cap in 2014. 

He weren't too bad a player for us really, certainly better than Mark Fotheringham. Maybe should have asked Fozzy for his agents number! 

Weren't there an incident where he drove to Colney drunk with no clothes on because he thought he was late for training, but there wasn't any training that day.... then he booked himself into the Sporting Chance clinic? I may have the story a little wrong, but it was hilarious at the time whatever it was.

Me and my mate were talking about him the other day. I'll never forget his goal against Ipswich that put us 2-0 up at Carrow Road. Good to see him back in England.

I'm amazed he's only 28 though, I thought he was around that age when he played for us, clearly he was about 21 :D

Yeah he looked about 40 when he played for us, must have been the beer gut and the lack of hair!

He went back to South Africa to try and win some international caps, can't imagine the money is great in South Africa and he won a few of them so fair play to him.
