Kadi drives Veria challenge

PERSONAL TRIUMPH: Striker Calvin Kadi
PERSONAL TRIUMPH: Striker Calvin Kadi

FORMER Bidvest Wits striker Calvin Kadi continued his excellent scoring form in Greece at the weekend when he netted his 10th goal of the season in a 2-0 win for Veria at Anagennisi Epanomis.

The 24-year-old has now netted six goals in his past six games, helping his side to second on the table, a point behind leaders Panthrakikos with a game in hand.

Should they remain there until the end of the season, Veria, and possibly Kadi, will be playing top-flight football next season against the likes of Greek giants Panathinaikos and Olympiakos.

The player will see this campaign as a personal triumph, having been stuck out on the wing in his last stint in Europe with Portuguese side Portimonense in 2010-2011. He was a regular starter, but not a goal-scorer, finding the net just once in 23 games.

It hasn't been such a good season for former Platinum Stars striker Bradley Grobler, who is playing with Goztepe in the Turkish second division. He has now managed just four goals in 24 games following Sunday's 3-0 defeat at Elazigspor, which left the side languishing in 13th place in the 18-team league.

Meanwhile, Bafana Bafana left-back Tsepo Masilela made a welcome return to the bench for Spanish La Liga side Getafe on Sunday.

Masilela has not played for his club side for two months after being forced to play the first half of Bafana's meaningless friendly with Senegal in February against the wishes of his club, and when he was not fully fit.
