South Africa-based left-wing-back, Ayodele Oluwafemi has stated delight with his recent move to emergent PSL side, Bidvest Wits, with a declaration that it is a welcome relief to several months of lying in hiatus.<br /><br />The former Jomo Cosmos and Pretoria University football clubs utility player had faced a long spell watching from the stands, after his deal at Platinum Stars was suddenly stopped by his agent, on allegations of poor pay by the fellow-PSL outfit.<br /><br />That came after a whole season of inaction for the product of Golden Planners of Ejigbo, Lagos, as his attempt to join Maritzburg United a year earlier ended stillborn, due to complications in his application for a work permit.<br /><br />However, a silver lining has now appeared on the horizon for the Shaki-born youngster, as his new deal with Wits comes barely a week after his South African wife put to bed a baby boy.<br /><br />''I believe it is the Lord&rsquo;s doing; simply because it was like things were going to be rough again for me this year, especially with the arrival of my first baby.<br /><br />''Through God&rsquo;s grace, I was happy when one of my mentors told me the arrival of the baby would open fresh doors of opportunities for me and that came to pass under a week. I am very happy for what God has done for me,'' he told allnigeriasoccer.com.<br /><br />Oluwafemi&rsquo;s deal at Wits coincided with the club&rsquo;s successful acquisition of ace midfielder, Thokozani Mshengu on a free contract, following the expiry of his contract at Bloemfontein Celtic, and has signed a contract of two years with an option of a third.<br /><br />The reasoning behind Mshengu's signing is to give the club some options down the wings following the departure of Sifiso Myeni to Orlando Pirates in January.<br /><br />Oluwafemi signed a similar contract and has been brought in as replacement for Patrick Phungwayo.<br /><br />Wits coach Roger de Sa stated that he has signed the pair to beef up his squad, ahead of their return from end-off-season break and pre-season training on June 26, but says he is still on the look out for further reinforcements.<br /><br />Fasetire Sam O'Femi<br />
