Who Are They: Aden McCarthy Reveals His Dream 3 South African Players To Play With Again

Aden McCarthy Names Three PSL Stars He Wants to Reunite With Abroad After Champions League Breakthrough

Former Kaizer Chiefs defender Aden McCarthy has reportedly identified Rushwin Dortley, Oswin Appollis and Monnapule Saleng as three South African players he would like to reunite with one day, sparking excitement among local football supporters.

McCarthy has been enjoying a memorable period in his young career after scoring his first UEFA Champions League goal for Sabah FK against German giants Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday night.

The 22-year-old centre-back rose to head home in the 39th minute, restoring parity after Serhou Guirassy had opened the scoring for Dortmund. Although Sabah eventually suffered a 2-1 defeat, McCarthy’s goal was a significant personal achievement on Europe’s biggest club stage.

Following the match, attention turned to his ambitions beyond his performances on the pitch, with Sports With Daily News reporting that he had been asked to name three South African players he would like to play alongside again in the future.

According to the report, McCarthy named three players associated with South Africa’s leading football clubs: Rushwin Dortley of Kaizer Chiefs, Oswin Appollis of Orlando Pirates and Monnapule Saleng of Mamelodi Sundowns.

The reported selections are likely to generate discussion among supporters, particularly because the three players represent different sides of South African football’s fierce club rivalries.

Dortley, a defender linked to McCarthy’s former club, would represent a familiar connection for the young centre-back. Appollis has established himself as an exciting attacking talent, while Saleng has attracted attention for his pace, creativity and ability to influence matches in the final third.

Bringing players from different PSL clubs together at an overseas destination would certainly be an intriguing prospect for South African football fans.

However, McCarthy’s reported choices should be understood as players he would like to reunite with, rather than an indication that any transfer negotiations are underway.

McCarthy’s Champions League breakthrough has added another milestone to his career since leaving Kaizer Chiefs for Sabah FK.

His goal against Dortmund demonstrated his threat from set pieces and his ability to compete against elite opposition. Despite the defeat, the defender can take confidence from scoring in a competition watched by millions of football supporters worldwide.

The former Amakhosi player is still at an early stage of his career, and regular performances in European competition could help him continue developing his game and attract further attention.

For South African supporters, his progress also provides an opportunity to follow a homegrown talent making his mark abroad.

The idea of McCarthy sharing a dressing room with Dortley, Appollis and Saleng will undoubtedly fuel speculation among fans.

Such a reunion could bring together players with experience of South African football while giving them the opportunity to test themselves in a different league and environment.

Nevertheless, no confirmed transfer plans involving the three players were established in the report. Any potential move would depend on factors such as club interest, contractual circumstances and the players’ own career ambitions.
