Ajax Cape Town winger Abednigo Mosiatlhaga hopes to get the chance of playing in the Premier Soccer League after missing out with Stellenbosch FC.

The 25-year-old spent last season at Stellies on loan from Bidvest Wits but was released at the end of their promotion campaign.

This term, the in-form Urban Warrior has scored 16 goals in 22 GladAfrica Championship games to head into the enforced break as the league's top goal-scorer.

Mosiatlhaga told Goal: "It's a matter of self-belief, because regardless of how many people believe in you, if you don't believe in yourself, you won't be able to do what you are capable of doing.

"When I won it [Glad Africa Championship] with Stellenbosch, I thought to myself that it's time now for me to go play in the Premier League.

"But things never worked out. Obviously, I got disappointed because never in my mind did, I think I’ll be playing in the NFD [Glad Africa Championship] again.

"There was no transfer agreement between the two clubs [Bidvest Wits and Stellenbosch], and I think there was no space for me as they had enough players in my position. They [Stellenbosch] also made it clear that I was not in the coaches plans.

"Fortunately, by God's grace, Ajax came calling, and then I had to come back to this league with Ajax."

He added: "Ajax is a good club with a rich history and I knew they are a club that wants to get straight back to the Premier Division. so, I knew if I had to decide, it would be a team that will surely compete to go back to the premier division, and I couldn't say no to Ajax."
