"Returning to the Club was a No Brainer"

Get to know the recently returning, Fortune Maphosa.

Welcome back to the City, was it an easy decision to return ?

Thank you, yeah it was a no brainer in the end, I was enjoying my football a lot here before I went to Telford and obviously have a good relationship with Tim and the coaching staff.

The standard of coaching here was another one for me which at this level and even the next levels above you wont find and I believe I am in the right place to further develop as a player.

What do you do as a day job ?

I am currently a Sales Advisor for a Gym

Growing up, was there a footballer in particular you looked up to ?

I looked up at Wayne Rooney growing up, just the way he carried himself with no fear in each game was incredible.

Which team do you support ?

I support Man United

Tell us a little about your career in the game so far, what teams have you player for up until this point ?

I started off at Coventry United within the Youth Setup and soon left there to join Tamworth youth which I then became a regular in the First Team squad. Ive gone on to play for Nuneaton, Alvechurch and Racing Club Warwick.

Since Luke English left the Club you became changing room DJ, only to be temporarily replaced by Billy Shaw and Adam Harrison, how are the lads enjoying the DJs music ?

As soon as Luke left the Club, Billy jumped at the chance to try and be the DJ, that was the moment we all knew, to stop any more suffering, that I had to take on the job. I think the gaffer likes the choices as i've seen him bop his head along a couple of times.

A couple of questions for a little fun -

Worst Dressed Player ?

I've not really seen anyone's clobber yet outside of the dressing room environment, for now I would have to go with Archie for his rascal trainers.

Teachers Pet ?

I have to give this to Robbo (when he's in a happy mood)

Biggest Joker ?

Has to be Dougie
