MBABANE – Ezulwini United FC has received a major boost ahead of the 2025/26 campaign with the return of veteran midfielder Mpucuko “Smoothies” Dlamini.

The experienced player, who had retired at the end of the 2024/25 season, has decided to lace up his boots once again, joining the “Stingers” squad for the new MTN Premier League season.

Dlamini, widely respected for his leadership and technical ability, is expected to play a dual role – contributing on the pitch and mentoring the team’s younger players.

“Smoothies’ return could not have come at a better time,” said one club official. “Our youthful squad is full of talent, and his guidance will be critical in helping them adjust to the demands of top-flight football.”

Ezulwini United fans have welcomed the news, praising the club’s ambition to mix youthful energy with seasoned experience as they push for better results in the 2025/26 season.
