The career of Anene Ngcongca

Anele Ngcongca made over 300 appearances at the highest levels of European football, turning out in the top flights of Belgium and France respectively. He won both the Belgian League and Cup with Genk during his nine-year stay with the club, who made their first Champions League appearance in 2012.

He joined Mamelodi Sundowns in 2016, electing to return home following a brief loan spell at Troyes in Ligue 1. He won the lot under Pitso Mosimane, claiming three domestic accolades in the process: He lifted the PSL trophy, the Nedbank Cup, and the Telkom Knockout Cup during his four years in Tshwane, scoring once in 42 appearances.
