From when he joined from Kaizer Chiefs in June 2023, he is on 51 appearances.
Through that time, he has broken into the Bafana Bafana squad.
For his efforts, Ngezana has been recognised by Romanian publication Fanatik as the SuperLiga Defender of the Season.
He was presented with the award on Tuesday night.
Ngezana has already tripled his value from what it was at Chiefs and has been constantly linked with a move away from FCSB.
