South African attacker Siyabonga Ligendza says he is eager to help his new outfit Alfreton Town FC achieve its targets in the upcoming campaign.
Ligendza becomes the first summer acquisition of Alfreton Town FC after switching from National League South club Eastbourne Borough.
“I’m excited to join and eager to help the team achieve its targets this season,” he said.
Having joined Alfreton Town, Ligendza, a product of Cardiff City’s compete is expected to compete in the English sixth division at the Impact Arena.
He initially joined Eastbourne Borough on loan in early 2024 before making the move permanent from AFC Fylde.
The Leicester-born forward began his career at Cardiff City at just eight years old, progressing through their youth ranks before signing a professional deal in 2021. During his time with Cardiff’s development squads, he scored an impressive 40 goals in two-and-a-half seasons.
Holding dual Welsh and South African citizenship, Ligendza was shortlisted for South Africa’s 2021 Olympic squad but missed the Tokyo Games due to injury.
His international eligibility remains open, having previously represented Wales at U-18 level, while England and Germany—his father’s homeland—could also have been options.
The move offers a fresh opportunity for the talented forward to showcase his potential in English football’s lower tiers.
