De Reuck feels ready for another European adventure

Maritzburg United defender Rushine de Reuck says he feels ready to take on another challenge in Europe, if he gets the opportunity.

The highly rated centre-back has been linked with both Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs after an impressive season at the heart of the Maritzburg defence.

However, the 24-year-old has revealed that he would prefer a move overseas as he now feels better prepared to deal with the challenges European football poses.

De Reuck joined Portuguese outfit Pacos as a teenager in 2014, but only spent a season with the club before returning home to play for Milano United.

"I have played in Europe before and I know what it takes to be there," De Reuck told Goal.

"When I was there, football-wise, I felt I was ready. I matched them and competed well against them and I did well for myself.

"But I struggled mentally because I started missing home and that was a big factor in me coming back.

"But like I said, I know what it takes, and I feel I am ready to take that step again in my career give Europe another try again and see what I can achieve there."
