“When I am home, I do some training particularly polishing up shooting ability. I think it’s something that can help me achieve that, ” said Gaba, who played for Brave Warriors before moving to Bullets where he played for two seasons (2012 and 2013).

He moved to Absa Premier side Bloemfetein Celtic in 2013 until 2015, scoring 15 goals in 46 matches.
