Cape Town - Ajax Cape Town defender Abbubaker Mobara reveals that frustration almost made him left the Ikamva club.
In the September issue of KickOff magazine, the 20-year-old admits to growing frustrated under former coach Muhsin Ertugral and thought about leaving the club.
“When I didn’t play I felt that I should ask Muhsin if I was in his plans for the season and initially he said ‘no’”, said the Mitchells Plain-born player.
At the time, Bidvest Wits were interested in luring the defender to Johannesburg with the right-back having then considered packing up his things.
“I was very young and eager to play but I kept on pushing at training and after a few days he started to like me.”
“When I started, my mind wasn’t set to just play one season then leave the club, but I want to gain experience and when I feel that I’m ready to move then I’ll move.”
Mobara's patience has paid off with Roger de Sa showing faith in him after Ertugral parted ways with the club.
