Edwin Gyimah is training with us to keep fit: Bidvest Wits coach

Published on: 17 November 2017

Coach of Bidvest Wits Gavin Hunt says Ghanaian player Edwin Gyimah is currently training with them just to keep fit.

The former Orlando Pirates midfielder has been training with the South African outfit despite being contracted to Swedish second division side Helsingborgs.

The Swedish league is currently on break and Dwimah has taken that opportunity to be with the team to keep fit.

“He’s come back to train. He’s still under contract in Sweden so he’s asked me if he could come and train, so we’ll take it from there,” said Hunt.

A few weeks ago, ex-Mamelodi Sundowns and University of Pretoria striker Mame Niang was also training under Hunt, who admits to having a soft spot for his former players.

“It’s all the old players [I coached], it’s amazing they don’t go back to the clubs where they last played. Niang was here as well, we’ve had many, many,” he added.

“But Gyimah’s just asked to come and train, because he’s still contracted to his Swedish club and they’re in off-season now, so I said it’s fine.”

Gyimah left Pirates in March this year after being involved in a heated exchange with then-coach Muhsin Ertugral in September last year, prior to the Turkish coach’s abrupt resignation less than two months later.
