South Africa star Nhlakanipho Ntuli plays his football in a rather unexpected and lowkey country, and here's a closer look at the Slovakia-based midfielder.
Having previously played in the Netherlands and more recently in Poland, Ntuli now finds himself in central Europe. A glance at his life overseas is surely warranted given that he is one of the few Mzansi players who are under the radar abroad.

Which one is this one?
Some might be surprised to know of the Durban-born star, but avid Orlando Pirates supporters will know him from his days in the club's youth academy system where he developed.
He now plies his trade in the Slovakian second-tier for Kosice, a club he joined in August 2021, according to Transfermarkt. Playing as a central midfielder, the maestro has already made a solid 15 appearances this season and has four assists to his name.
The man himself
Off the pitch, the heavily-tattooed Ntuli lives a relatively easy life, as he is often seen in ordinary spaces, which suggests he isn't too concerned about aesthetics but he is more occupied with his career. What is notable though, is his love for fancy sneakers by Gucci among other high-end labels.
Did you know?
The 26-year-old spent some time in the ranks of Dutch side FC Twente, a club Bernard Parker has previously played for, but it is understood that he only represented their under-21 division.
