Tau ready to roar as PSL circle for his signature
Independent on Saturday
|June 14, 2025
BAFANA Bafana striker Percy Tau has become a free agent, sparking interest among Premier Soccer League (PSL) clubs eager to secure the talent of the 31-year-old.
Tau's departure from Doha-based Qatar SC comes on the heels of a short-term contract with the Qatari club, which he joined mid-season from Egyptian powerhouse Al Ahly.
During his time with Qatar SC, Tau’s influence was pivotal in steering the club clear of relegation in the competitive Qatar Stars League.
Before his stint in Qatar, Tau enjoyed substantial success with Al Ahly, where he thrived in his role and contributed to the club's impressive collection of silverware, including two CAF Champions League titles, two Egyptian Premier League champion-ships, and four Egyptian Super Cups.
His accolades further include being named the CAF Interclub Player of the Year in 2023, a historic achievement as he became the first South African to win this prestigious award.
Tau’s expansive career has seen him play for various noteworthy clubs across multiple countries.
