Cape Town-born Lakay is the first arrival since the Citizens installed Bafana's all-time leading goalscorer‚ Benni McCarthy‚ as their new head coach to replace Eric Tinkler‚ who has since jumped ship to join SuperSport United.
City finished third in the Absa Premiership standings last season and were crowned the 2016 Telkom Knockout champions.
First day back at training! The boys are looking SHARP.#iamCityFC
