Bafana Star In Cardiff Return

Kagisho Dikgacoi made a successful return to playing this week when he turned out for 45 minutes for Cardiff City against Forest Green Rovers. The former Bafana Bafana regular received high praise for his performance, which comes just months after a serious knee injury that left him unable to move his leg.

Dikgacoi has been on a boot camp, worked with a renowned boxing trainer and put in extra hours in the gym, and looks to be on course to resume his career with the English Championship side after an injury-plagued 2014/15 campaign. “Kagisho has dug deep and worked hard to get where he is now,” boxing trainer Darren Wilson, who has been helping Dikgacoi with his rehabilitation, told WalesOnline.

“He wants to do it, he is keen to make progress. There were times last season when we worked together and he wasn’t able to move his feet because of a knee injury. Later we were able to add in more movement and he has kept working. We had a number of sessions together last season, he enjoys it and wants to get the gloves out a couple of times a week. Kagisho is a class player when he is at peak fitness and he will be a key man for Cardiff this season. The boy wants to get there and he’s putting in the effort.”

Dikgacoi has not played competitive football in almost a year after choosing to move to Cardiff in the second tier on a three-year contract, rather than stay in the Premier League at Crystal Palace, who offered him just a one-year deal.
