Tshepo Gumede (born 21 April 1991) is a South African professional footballer who plays for Cape Town City as a defender.
Club career
Gumede began his youth career at Arcadia Shepherds before joining the SuperSport United academy. He spent a season on loan at Mpumalanga Black Aces but failed to make an appearance.
Gumede joined Platinum Stars in July 2012. At the end of the 2012–13 season, he was nominated for the ABSA Premiership Young Player of the Year award and the Nedbank Cup Most Promising Player of the Tournament award, winning the former.
On July 26, 2016 it was announced that Gumede had joined historic Capetonian side Cape Town City F.C.
International career
Gumede was part of the South Africa squad for the 2013 COSAFA Cup and made his debut against Namibia.
Style of play
Gumede isn’t the tallest of central defenders but his ability to read the game, along with his first touch on the ball – gives him the advantage as one of the more modern ball-playing defenders in the South African Premiership.
