Khanyisa Mayo has reached a remarkable milestone at the gold army by becoming their all-time leading goal scorer in their recent 2-1 victory against Chippa United in the DSTV premiership. 

Where Mayo started to catch the Sports bar’s attention: Mayo is a player that caught the sports bar's attention when he was still playing for Richard Bay FC in the 2020-21 season where he played 21 matches and scored 7 goals in the national first division. His star Stelling performances continued when Richards Bay played in the Nedbank Cup whereby, he scored 2 goals in 3 matches in the 2020-21 season of the Nedbank Cup as he played a huge role in how Richards Bay FC performed in the tournament. 

Showcasing his talent on a bigger stage As Mayo continued to display top performances at Richards Bay, he caught the attention of many clubs in the Premier Soccer league (PSL). He later made a move to Cape Town City, a club many could say is fairly new as it was established in 2016. The talisman continues to thrive on the bigger stage as he is now the clubs all-time leading goal scorer, which is quite good considering that he only made a move to the citizens in the 2021-22 season. 

Khanyisa Mayo is definitely a player to keep an eye on during this season as he is still continuing with his outstanding performances. He is still only 25 years old, which gives a lot more time to see more of what Khanyisa Mayo can bring to the table on a footballing level. 

Abilities that the Sports bar has been able to identify in Khanyisa Mayo's play: Skillful, very good movement on and off the ball, well positioned, goal scorer, able to take on players (which is what a winger is supposed to do), great freekick taker and good vision.
