Cape Town’s Liam Bern Signs for AmaZulu: “I Want to Win a Trophy with This Team”
AmaZulu FC have made a late but notable addition to their squad with the signing of Cape Town–born midfielder Liam Bern (22). The talented left-footer joins Usuthu as a free agent after being declared available on transfer deadline day, and will now work under the guidance of head coach Arthur Zwane.
Bern, who is known for his versatility and ability to operate across the midfield, expressed his delight at sealing the move to Durban.
“A Club with Culture and Family Spirit”
Sharing his first impressions of the club, Bern spoke highly of AmaZulu’s unique environment.
“I spoke to a lot of players before I came here, and they always told me how much they wanted to join AmaZulu because of the family culture, how well the players are looked after, and the togetherness within the club,” he said.
He also praised the role of the supporters, whose passion he feels sets AmaZulu apart.
“The supporters have been incredible — their energy carries through the entire game, and they really seem like amazing people.”
Personal Goals for the Season
At just 22, Bern is eager to make an immediate impact. While settling into a new system will take time, he already has clear ambitions for his first season in Usuthu colours.
“On a personal level, I’d love to score at least one goal this season and, more importantly, win a trophy with the team.”
A Fresh Chapter Under Zwane
For AmaZulu, Bern’s arrival adds further depth to the midfield as Zwane continues reshaping the squad for the campaign ahead. His technical ability and energy in central areas could prove useful as Usuthu chase domestic success and look to climb the DStv Premiership standings.
The move also represents a fresh chapter for Bern, who will be hoping Durban becomes the place where he establishes himself as a consistent performer in South African football.
