by · KickOff

Veteran striker Ruzaigh Gamildien has made a big revelation days before the big Cape Town between his side Hope FC and Cape Town City in the Motsepe Foundation Championship.

Hope FC meet Cape Town City at Athlone Stadium on Sunday (15:00), a fixture that is set to divide the blue and red sides of the Mother City.

The Citizens know that a win will help them move up the table as they sit seventh having won one, drawn one and lost one so far this season, while their rivals are one place above them after winning two and losing one.

KickOff can confirm that Gamildien will call it quits on his career after the end of the current campaign, and this is whether the team secures promotion to the Betway Premiership or not.

The 37-year-old, who has featured in several derbies for clubs like Milano and Cape Town Spurs in the past, went on to preview the big match, saying he believes it will be an interesting encounter from a neutral perspective.

"I think this is also the ideal platform for the younger players to make their mark," Gamildien stated to this website.

"This is what any young player from Cape Town dreams of, you know. To play in Athlone Stadium in front of your family and friends. It's magic.

"Not to mention if you score a winning goal or contribute positively?" he added.

Gamildien has enjoyed a reasonably successful career thus far, featuring for 13 different clubs across a 16-year span and winning the Telkom Cup, MTN8, and Motsepe Foundation Championship league title, among others.
