South African under-17 national midfielder Michael Nkambule has joined the French first division soccer side Strasbourg. The Daveyton-based Nkambule impressed the Strasbourg technical staff when he was in France late last year after training with the club for two weeks.
This was after failing to secure a work permit in England after a successful two-week trial with Premiership side Manchester United.
Nkambule was a member of the under-17 national squad that beat Sudan last month to qualify for their first ever African Junior Championships finals. – Sapa
