AmaZulu striker Etiosa Ighodaro scored his first goal for the team in the first Betway Premiership match of the season, and he’s aiming for more.

The Nigerian forward says that the experience he has from playing for different teams will definitely be helpful for him at Usuthu.

“It has been nice playing for different clubs. It comes with experience,” he says.

“I really love the set-up at AmaZulu, it is a very professional club and they play according to your strength,” he said during a press conference.

Usuthu is set to play against Kaizer Chiefs next week at the Moses Mabhida Stadium, and it’s an opportunity for the team to pick up points with a home ground advantage.

“My goal this season is to score more than I did last campaign. I need to work hard to be able to help the team and score goals. To score in the first game already boosted my confidence, I’m really happy. The work is not done yet, there are a lot of games to play.”

“Although we are disappointed with the way the game ended, we did play well. We are confident that in our next game, we will take maximum points,” he continued.

“We have to keep on working and grinding results and see how far we can go this season, but as I said, I’m happy to be here and I’m looking forward to contributing to the success of the club.”
