Former Kaizer Chiefs academy player Simo Bobo is hoping to revive his professional football career by securing a contract with Gomora United, where he is currently undergoing trials.
The 20-year-old defender has been given an opportunity to prove his abilities at the Motsepe Foundation Championship side as he attempts to convince the club's technical team that he deserves a place in their squad. A successful trial would provide him with another platform to develop and establish himself in senior football.
Bobo is not entirely unfamiliar with competitive football, having previously gained experience through loan moves during his time at Kaizer Chiefs. He was sent to TS Galaxy to gain valuable playing experience before securing another opportunity in Botswana with Mochudi Centre Chiefs.
His spell outside South Africa exposed him to a different football environment and allowed him to continue improving his game. He will now be hoping that the experience gained from those assignments will help him secure a fresh opportunity at Gomora United.
Interestingly, joining the club could see him reunite with two former Kaizer Chiefs teammates, Sfiso Timba and Xolani Cossa. Both players are currently representing Gomora United on loan from the Soweto giants. Their presence could help Bobo adapt more comfortably if he manages to complete his trial successfully.
Bobo's situation represents another chapter in his football journey, particularly considering his lengthy association with Kaizer Chiefs. He spent nine years progressing through the club's academy after joining as a young prospect.
However, his relationship with the Glamour Boys officially ended in July, bringing his long spell at the development setup to a close.
At 20, the defender still has considerable time to establish himself professionally. Earning a deal with Gomora United would offer him an opportunity to demonstrate his defensive qualities, gain consistent playing time and rebuild his career.
