Parker training with AmaZulu

Johannesburg - Bafana Bafana forward Bernard Parker is currently working on his fitness with Premier Soccer League club AmaZulu.

The 25-year-old has returned to South Africa ahead of the vital African Cup of Nations qualifier with Egypt at the start of June.

Parker has left Greek outfit Panserraikos, where he was on loan, and is not expected back at parent club FC Twente until pre-season in July - freeing the forward up to return home.

The former Thanda Royal Zulu star has struggled to settle in Europe since moving to the Northern Hemisphere in 2009, with spells in Serbia, Holland and Greece yielding little success.

Parker is determined to stay in Bafana Bafana coach Pitso Mosimane's plans and is hoping to stay on his radar by maintaining his fitness and sharpness on the Usuthu training pitch.

No! I think the smart thing to do is start again with a younger skipper ...

I'd keep Siya captain for now, but look to have someone else for 2027.
