Benni McCarthy snags Belgian teen international for Cape Town City

He has come through the junior ranks at KV Mechelen and Standard Liege‚ and was once offered the chance to sign for the Manchester United academy‚ but felt at the time he was too young to move to England.

Groeneveld can sign for City as he held amateur status at Liege and was not on a professional contract‚ so will be available immediately for coach Benni McCarthy.He has also been named in the South African provisional squad for the Fifa Under-20 World Cup‚ and has already piqued the interest of Bafana Bafana coach Stuart Baxter.

Groeneveld is the latest high-profile signing made by City in recent months‚ including former Netherlands junior international Chris David and ex-Ajax Cape Town midfielder Travis Graham. The latter is set to miss the remainder of the season with a fracture though‚ more bad luck for a player seeking to reignite his professional career.
