Ajax Cape Towm midfielder Thulani Serero is set to return to Holland to try his luck with a second spell at Ajax Amsterdam next month.



Serero and Sameehg Doutie trained with the Dutch team last year but were told to return to the Urban Warriors to improve some aspects of their game.

The Soweto-born midfielder is to return to Amsterdam after being recommended by Ajax Cape Town’s former technical director, and now assistant coach at the Amsterdam team, Hennie Spijkerman.

Ajax Cape Town coach Foppe de Haan confirmed that Ajax Amsterdam coach Frank de Boer has expressed interest to have another look at Serero next month.



"Hennie Spijkerman, who was here with us last year, has said good things about Serero, and Frank de Boer insisted on having a look at him again before the end of this season,” De Haan says.

“The idea is for him to go back to Holland in March and stay one week with Ajax Amsterdam. He deserves to play in Europe and we will look at other options if not Ajax Amsterdam.”

De Haan says even though Serero has played well this season, there are still a few things he needs to do to improve in his game.


“Even though he is yet to be the best player he can be, he has shown great qualities for making it in Europe. He is still learning and needs to improve a few things, like his finishing.

“I was happy to see him scoring two goals on Saturday – but he should have scored many goals this season.”
