Siphiwe happy with new role

Johannesburg - Siphiwe Tshabalala insists he will play wherever Kaizer Chiefs need him after featuring in central midfield at the Telkom Charity Cup.

Tshabalala typically roams the Chiefs left flank, but played just off striker Sthembiso Ngcobo in the final against Orlando Pirates - a role he is seemingly comfortable with.

"I am prepared to play anywhere the coach feels I can contribute to the success of the team," he said on Amakhosi's official website.

"On Saturday I played inside and I was happy with my contribution, but it was not only me who played well, as my team-mates in all departments looked solid.

"The technical team also introduced a few young players who also played very well.

"Personally I am happy to have played in front of these supporters following all the speculation about my future in the past few weeks.

"I have always said that I am happy here."

'Shabba' added he was looking forward to South Africa's clash with Ghana at Soccer City on Wednesday.

"We all know what Ghana can do. It is going to be a good test for us as we prepare for the qualifier against the likes of Niger."

The 26-year-old, who is on the radar of Turkish outfit Sivasspor among others, will hope to earn his 53rd cap against the Black Stars.
