CAREER

No doubt his age quickly implicated his career into the mix. The Kaizer Chiefs defender has since become a darling of many fans. His leadership abilities have seen him wearing the captain’s armband.

However, Given Msimango’s early career is unknown. He had his senior career debut with Highlands Park. During the 2022 season, he reportedly starred in 30 Premier League fixtures. Rumour mill said he had a physical coach to monitor his performance. He went on to become the club’s captain before he joined Kaizer Chiefs.

Against his move to Kaizer Chiefs, the TS Galaxy owner revealed why Given Msimango was sold. During his transfer move, he was one of the best players from the TS Galaxy squad of 2022.

“We are realistic as well regarding our business model and how we will build and continue building this business model. Part of the model, of course, will be to follow the likes of Tottenham Hotspur,” he said.

CAPTAINING KAIZER CHIEFS

Given Msimango seems to be the next Kaizer Chiefs captain. Undoubtedly, there hasn’t been a consistent leader in the team since Itumeleng Khune’s suspension. However, Msimango has been wearing the captain’s armband after taking over from  Keagan Dolly and Yusuf Maart.

The Brakpan-born centre-back says he’s equal to the task. “It’s a huge honour on its own; I was honoured when I was given that responsibility by the club to wear the armband and lead the team,” said Given Msimango.

“I know how to push the guys and try to get the best out of them at training and on the pitch,” he added.
