LAMONTVILLE Golden Arrows midfielder and arguably one of the most exciting players on the roster, Nhlanhla Zwane is ready to return to a state of consistency.
Golden Arrows confirmed that Zwane was fit and committed at practice on Wednesday ahead of their Orbit College encounter this weekend.
"We can't really talk about the side for this weekend but (Nhlanhla) Zwane is here at training. He is fit and ready and looks good. I'm sure he's going to be ready for this weekend," Arrows media officer Comfort Thusi said.
Zwane started the game against Durban City at the weekend and put on a colourful display, almost scoring twice in the last five minutes of the game — putting out his best performance of the season.
He scooped the player of the match award and said that he was 'happy to be back' because he struggled with consistency earlier in the season.
Now as Arrows prepare to end the season on a high note, Zwane has an opportunity to show why he is revered among fans.
Arrows now turn their attention to an important clash against Orbit College this weekend, where Zwane is expected to play a key role in unlocking the attack and maintaining momentum.
With confidence growing after his player of the match performance against Durban City, Zwane will be looking to carry that creativity and energy into another decisive display.
His ability to find space late in matches has already become a key weapon for Arrows, especially in tight games where one moment of quality can decide the result.
Arrows' ability, as a whole, to find space in the front this season has been top rated but their finishing has let them down.
As the season approaches its conclusion, Arrows will hope Zwane can provide the spark needed to finish strongly and push the team up the table.
Arrows believe the midfielder’s return to form could be crucial in their final push, with the coaching staff encouraged by his attitude, work rate and willingness to take responsibility in the attacking third.
He remains one of the most naturally gifted players in the squad and supporters will be eager to see him deliver consistently when it matters most in the closing fixtures of the campaign for Golden Arrows ahead
