Ajax Cape Town midfielder Granwald Scott has completed his move to Slovakian side Slovan Bratislava, the club confirmed on Thursday.
The 28-year-old had a 10-day trial in Europe earlier this month and impressed enough to win a contract.He leaves Ajax after 16 years with the blessing of theclub and the well-wishes of CEO Ari Efstathiou.
“Scotty joined Ajax Cape Town Academy when he was 12 years old. He signed his first professional contract at the age of 15. He’s been a loyal servant to the club for many years, so we wish him well with his journey abroad,” Efstathiou said.
“We are confident that he will represent Ajax Cape Town, as well as his country, with great pride. He was good enough to play in Europe from a young age but had three unsuccessful European trials after injuring himself on all three occasions.
“To make it in Europe at the age of 28, is clearly an indication of Scotty’s immense talent.”
Ajax had earlier said they would not stand in the player’s way if Slovan decided to sign him.
“The club went out of its way to facilitate his transfer and to help make his dream move a reality. All of us at Ajax Cape Town are very proud of Granwald’s achievement.
“He’s a great example for every young player, showing great determination and perseverance in succeeding. We hope to see Scotty playing in the Champions League very soon.”
Slovan are currently second in the 12-team league, seven points behind leaders Trencin after 19 games.
