MASERU – Likuena international Litšepe Marabe travelled to India on Monday to attend trials at an unnamed Indian club.
Marabe was supposed to have left the country last month but after delays he was only able to travel this week.
Before boarding a flight to India, Marabe briefly spoke to thepost over the phone and expressed his happiness that he was finally able to leave and said he is looking forward to what awaits him in Asia.
The Bantu star has not been seen in action for over three months and, according to him, this will be a three-month try-out. He said he intends to not only impress one team, but even others that may fancy taking him on.
According to several reports, Marabe was meant to go to India late last year but the move never materialised. What scuppered those plans is not clear, but Marabe has not shown up for Bantu training since and has missed several league games despite still having a contract with the Mafeteng club.
Last month, the Lesotho international star went on his Facebook page and asked for help with a flight ticket to India.
On his Facebook page, Marabe said: “As most of you are aware of my anticipated move to India to further my career, maybe you are wondering of how far am I in terms of preparations, all is going well as I now have my visa, but the stumbling block now is I’m short of funds to get a flight ticket. Therefore, I humbly ask for your help to ease the necessary requirements, this would help me add on what I already have.”
Marabe added that he was concerned about time passing and possibly missing his opportunity.
