Molefe had his final training session with Antwerp on Thursday to end his one month-long trial with the club, and he’s now set to return to South Africa.

Molefe jetted off to Belgium alongside Mduduzi Shabalala on 12 April, and his trial was only scheduled to last for a month.

And that’s because, at the time, Molefe was still a scholar, and he struggled to juggle both his studies and playing football at the highest level.

Born in Mondeor, Molefe started his football career at amateur side Mondeor Meteors before joining Jabez Football Club at a later stage.

Molefe stands at 1.90 meter tall, and his height and physique meet the minimum requirements for goalkeepers scouted by European teams.
