ZIMBABWE international, Thando Ngwenya, says his rehabilitation process was not easy and he is happy to be back in training.
A foot injury sidelined him for the final two months of the 2025/26 South African Betway Premiership season.
Ngwenya is now back with his AmaZulu teammates as preparations intensify for the new campaign.
His recovery has provided a timely boost for both the club and the player, following a lengthy frustrating spell on the sidelines.
Ngwenya’s injury forced him to miss AmaZulu’s run-in as the Durban-based side concluded its Betway Premiership campaign, without one of their attacking options.
Speaking after rejoining full training, Ngwenya expressed his delight at putting the injury behind him and returning to the pitch.
“It feels good to be back doing what I love. The rehabilitation process wasn’t easy, but I remained patient and trusted everyone who helped me through it.
“I’m grateful to be training with the team again,” said Ngwenya.
The striker admitted the injury was mentally challenging, particularly watching matches from the stands while his teammates battled through the closing weeks of the season.
“There were difficult moments because every player wants to be out there helping the team.
“I used that period to become stronger physically and mentally, and now my focus is on getting back to my best.”
Ngwenya said his immediate target is to regain full match fitness before setting his sights on contributing goals and strong performances in the upcoming season.
“My objective is to work hard every day, earn my place in the team and help the club achieve its goals.
“I also hope to stay injury-free and enjoy my football again.”
