The former Mamelodi Sundowns and Al Ahly attacker, unveiled on Saturday, joins the V.League 1 side as they prepare for the upcoming campaign.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>After parting ways with Qatar SC at the end of last season, Tau spent time as a free agent, with speculation linking him to clubs across various leagues\u2014including a potential return to South Africa. However, his reported salary expectations of R450,000 per month deterred domestic suitors, leaving the door open for an unexpected move to Southeast Asia.<\/p>\n<p>At 32, the Bafana Bafana international sees this transfer as a fresh opportunity to regain form and secure regular minutes ahead of the 2025 AFCON in Morocco. His arrival in Vietnam marks the second high-profile South African to join the league in recent years, adding an intriguing subplot to his already storied career. As Tau adapts to his new surroundings, fans will be watching closely to see if this change of scenery reignites his best form.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sports.yahoo.com\/article\/percy-tau-experience-asia-veterans-231500659.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Percy Tau and a new experience in Asia: The veteran&rsquo;s journey in Africa has ended!
