Former Mamelodi Sundowns star Rivaldo Coetzee targets career revival with Sekhukhune United

Former Mamelodi Sundowns star Rivaldo Coetzee targets career revival with Sekhukhune United

The 29-year-old former Bafana, Ajax Cape Town and Mamelodi Sundowns defender was left without a club after leaving the Brazilians at the end of last season.

His struggles with injury have been well documented but the player is in active training with Babina Noko as he hopes to make a comeback.

Sekhukhune are busy preparing for the second half of their 2025/26 Betway Premiership campaign following their roaring start that sees the club occupy third place on the standings with 25 points from 13 games - three points behind leaders Orlando Pirates, but from a game more.

"Rivaldo is training at Sekhukhune, he's now training with the team," Makaab told iDiski Times.

"We're hoping that it will take him a few weeks to get to certain level of fitness, and then the team can then decide."

Sekhukhune have so far confirmed the January signings of Lebohang Phiri, Amede Tidiane Diomande and Lehlohonolo Mojela, alongside the loan return of Andy Boyeli.
