Mashamaite, Lampard, Villa training at New York City FC

Former Kaizer Chiefs and Bafana Bafana defender Tefu Mashamaite has joined Frank Lampard and David Villa at New York City with a hope to secure a deal at the club.

“A backline of Angelino – Shay Facey – Mashamaite – Andoni Iraola could give NYCFC a completely revamped defence and change their team completely … Mashamaite would be a strong addition for NYCFC,” New York Sports Hub said.

The club held their first training session on Wednesday ahead of the new season.

PSL Footballer of the Season Mashamaite hopes to win a contract at the USA’s Major League Soccer (MLS).

Mashamaite was expelled by his former club along with keeper Itumeleng Khune and midfielder Mandla Masango when the trio failed to agree on terms on new deals.
