The 34-year-old, affectionately known as “Cream,” began his professional career with Ajax Cape Town in 2008 before embarking on an international journey that saw him play for prominent clubs such as Ajax Amsterdam, Vitesse Arnhem, Al Jazira, and Khor Fakkan.
Serero’s tenure overseas was marked by significant achievements, including three Eredivisie titles with Ajax Amsterdam and a league championship with Al Jazira during the 2020/21 season. His experience in top European and Middle Eastern leagues is expected to bring valuable expertise to Cape Town City’s midfield.
Interim coach Muhsin Ertugral highlighted Serero’s potential impact, noting that the midfielder has been training with the team for the past two weeks and is poised to add depth and experience to the squad. Currently positioned 10th on the PSL log with 21 points from 19 matches, Cape Town City aims to leverage Serero’s skill set to enhance their performance in the league.
Fans can anticipate Serero’s debut in the upcoming fixture against AmaZulu FC, scheduled for Sunday, March 2, 2025, at the King Zwelithini Stadium, with kickoff at 15:30. Markets are available for that game with Cape Town City as slight underdogs.
