WHY MOSEAMEDI WEARS NO. 25

Throughout his career, and barring only the 2018/19 season which he spent on loan with Free State Stars and Maritzburg United, Moseamedi has always donned the No. 20 jersey on his back.

That has changed following his move to Stellenbosch FC, however, with the Bafana Bafana international now wearing the No. 25 strip instead of his favoured digits, which belong to new teammate Alan Robertson. “When they called me and said the deal was finalized and that

I now had to choose my jersey number, then I think there was the No. 6, No. 18. and No. 25 jerseys available if I remember correctly,” he explains with a hint of humour in his voice. “The No. 20 was not there, and I was like ‘no man’. Then they offered me the No. 18 and I said, ‘No, let me take the 25, let me try this one now.’ I didn’t even think of maybe talking to Alan about giving me the jersey. “I thought let me just go there and focus on the things I came here for and see how it goes.”
