INFO:
Tshabalala is a former winger or side midfielder, mainly on the left, who could also play as attacking midfielder and occasionally secondary striker. His career started in 2003 at Alexandra United. He joined Free State Stars one year later. He had his most successful time at Kaizer Chiefs from 2007 to 2018, making 344 appearances and scoring 55 goals. He retired in 2021 following disappointing experiences in Turkey with Erzurumspor and in South Africa with AmaZulu. He capped for South Africa 89 times, scoring 12 goals.
Tshabalala was one of South Africa's most gifted players of the 2000s and 2010s. His tricky dribbling, great pace and excellent crossing from the back or the side made him a threat for any back-line. He played the ball well also in the middle of the field with short passing exchanges and fine through passes that cut the defence. A natural left-footed, he could shoot with great power from long range while his ability from set piece was remarkable as he could bend the ball well. Also, he was often in charge of corner kicks.
