Davids signs for Supersport


Lance Davids has returned to South Africa and has joined SuperSport United on a six month deal.

He will be at the club till the end of the season from Swedish side Djurgardens.
The 23-year-old has never played football in South African because he left the country nine years ago to play in Germany for the Bundesliga side as a youngster.

He said that with the Swedish League only resuming in April, his choice was not hard to make.

"The league is starting late, so for me idling in Europe and waiting is not going to be a good thing especially with the national team playing next week. So I decided why not come to a team like SuperSport."

Davids also mentioned that one of the reasons he came back to SA was to get some game time to better his chances of getting a place in the Bafana Bafana squad for the Confederations Cup later this year.

Most of Europe has been gripped by a bitterly cold winter and Da! vids said even though he was happy to be back in the sunshine, he was still getting used to it.

"For the last two days I have been battling with the weather and even though we train at 08:00 there is little relief but its not easy especially being in Pretoria but the sun is out so that is ok."
