Africa-Press – Eswatini. <\/strong><\/span>Former top Kaizer Chiefs defender Eric \u2018Tower\u2019 Mathoho is eyeing a possible move to the country during the next transfer window.<\/b><\/p>\n

\u2018Tower’ singled out Eswatini as one of his possible destinations to end his career, including Botswana and Lesotho.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know if there are teams interested, I’m still waiting for one of the teams to come and sign me.<\/p>\n

But I\u2019m patient as the right time will come. I don\u2019t mind travelling to the coast or to the North if I\u2019m going to finish my career in the way that I want. I don\u2019t mind travelling even if it\u2019s Botswana, Swaziland (Eswatini) or Lesotho,\u201d Matoho told Idiski soccer report.<\/p>\n

He could join the list of ex-Kaizer Chiefs players who have plied their trade in the country such Junior Khanye, Punch Masenemela, formerly with Malanti Chiefs and Mbabane Highlanders respectively.<\/p>\n

Mathoho won several titles with Kaizer Chiefs, such as 2013 and 2015 Premier Soccer League titles and the 2013 and 2014 Nedbank Cup trophies, among others.<\/p>\n
