He also moved to the Mamelodi Sundowns youth team, and by 2004, he got signed by Thanda Royal Zulu. This paved the way for his growth in football as he remained with the team for the next five years.

In 2011, he moved to Kaizer Chiefs, with which he still plays close to a decade later. His hard work has earned him a good net worth, 2 Premier Soccer League titles, a Nedbank Cup, MTN 8 title, and an African Nations Championship Golden Boot in 2014.

How Bernard Parker Accumulated His Fortune
