WHO IS HE?
Born in Mthatha, Eastern Cape on 28 June 2000, “Aya” first emerged as a junior player at Mamelodi Sundowns. Maxwele later played for Maritzburg United (later renamed Durban City), Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila and Royal AM.
He has been noted as a unique player. Maxwele operates as a specialist half central midfielder and half inverted winger. He plays with high intensity that involves relentless running and a high number of won duels.
Maxwele is a committed presser and when he has the ball at his feet, easily drives past defenders at speed.
Beyond his 23 league appearances, Maxwelele played six cup games in the Carling Knockout and Nedbank Cup. Scoring three goals and making one assist.
