Former Orlando Pirates striker Tshegofatso Mabasa on why he opted for the Moroccan move

Tshegofatso Mabasa revealed it was ambition that took him to Morocco than anything else.

Mabasa was linked with Kaizer Chiefs and Mamelodi Sundowns in the Betway Premiership but the former Orlando Pirates marksman ended up joining Moroccan side MAS Fes.

It was rather a shock move the striker as expectation was that he will move to a local side.

But that the current Moroccan champions will be playing in the Caf Champions League is what made Mabasa move from South to North Africa.

"In terms of timing, it’s perfect for the club and for me as well – because the club is so ambitious, playing in the Champions League, we want to go all the way and win it, we want to win the league again this season, the Throne Cup, we want to win, but Fes has been after me for a while, I’ve know that,” said Mabasa on iDiskiTimes.

“This is a move that is exciting for me, a move that I felt I needed in my career right now, to be part of this exciting club, very ambitious club, it’s great and the reception over the last couple of days since I’ve been here has been truly wonderful."
