PLAYING CAREER
Before scoring 70 goals in 238 games, Ntuli’s career began at the lower division club Sabantu Shooting Stars in 2011 before moving to Golden Arrows’ reserve side.

He later became a DStv Premiership footballer at Golden Arrows, where he earned an early breakthrough to Mamelodi Sundowns in 2014.

Ntuli’s Sundowns career only lasted one season before he was loaned to Platinum Stars and AmaZulu. Usuthu eventually signed the 1.8m tall attacker on a permanent deal in 2019.
