Sipho Mbule off the mark in Iraq with Zakho SC
South African midfielder Sipho Mbule scored a stunning goal and provided an assist for Zakho SC, reviving his career in the Iraqi Stars League.
South African international midfielder Sipho Mbule has found his form again with Zakho SC in the Iraqi Stars League. The 28-year-old opened the scoring in a recent home game, firing a powerful shot that deceived Diyala's goalkeeper and nestled in the bottom corner of the net. Mbule also contributed an assist, but his team was unable to claim a win, as the match ended in a draw.
Zakho currently sits ninth in the league standings with four points after three games, trailing leaders Erbil by three points. Last season, the club also finished ninth. Despite his struggles in South Africa, where disciplinary issues plagued his progress, Mbule has been given another chance in Iraq. With fresh signings like Mbule determined to make an impact, the team hopes to improve their standing this season.
Mbule's career trajectory remains uncertain, but at 28 years old, he still has time to prove himself, reach his full potential, and rebuild his reputation both in the Middle East and beyond.
