Cupido has completed a move to Israeli side Kiryat Yam


 Ashley Cupido has completed a move to Israeli side Kiryat Yam, bringing an end to his spell in South African football as he prepares for a fresh challenge abroad.

The 25-year-old striker leaves the PSL with a combined 16 goal contributions for Stellenbosch and Cape Town Spurs, a return that underlines the impact he made while developing his game in South Africa’s topflight. His move to Israel marks an important next step in a career that now takes him into a new environment, a new league and a new set of expectations.

Cupido expressed his excitement about the transfer, saying he is eager to embrace the challenge. “I’m happy to take on this new challenge in Israel and to join Kiryat Yam. I’ve heard many good things about the club, and I’m looking forward to stepping onto the pitch together with our fans,” he said.

His departure will be felt by South African football followers who watched him grow into a useful attacking option at PSL level. With his pace, movement and eye for goal, Cupido showed enough promise to earn himself an opportunity overseas, and Kiryat Yam will be hoping he can translate that ability into consistent performances.

For the player, the move offers a chance to test himself in a different football culture and to build on the experience he gained in South Africa. For Kiryat Yam, it is a signing that brings in a young forward with topflight exposure and a record of contributing in the final third.

Cupido’s exit adds to the growing list of South African players seeking opportunities beyond the PSL, while also reflecting the value of strong domestic performances in opening doors internationally. The next chapter of his career now begins in Israel, where expectations will rise as soon as he steps onto the pitch.
