The former defender is set to play a global role for the English club which secured promotion back to the Premier League on Monday.
South African legend Lucas Radebe has landed a big role at newly-promoted Premier League club Leeds United.
Rabede, who is a Leeds legend, has been named as the club’s first Global Ambassador in what is a major role for him and Africa as players from the continent rarely get such positions at European sides.
The former defender’s appointment was confirmed by Leeds CEO Angus Kinnear on Tuesday, a day after the club secured promotion back to the English Premier League, two years since their relegation.

Percy Tau: Why South African Forward Risks Losing Multi-million Contract In Qatar
South African forward Percy Tau joined Qatari club Qatar SC in January but he could be on his way out soon given a number of clauses tied to his multi-million contract.
Radebe would attract interest from the likes of Manchester United, AS Roma and AC Milan but he chose to stay at Leeds, a decision that endeared him to the club’s fans.
So popular is Radebe at Leeds that in August last year, a fan named his newborn son after him, while in 2008, a local brewery named their beer after him, following an overwhelming vote from the club’s supporters.
Known for his great ability on the ball, added to his impressive tackles, Radebe, who joined Leeds for £250,000 from Kaizer Chiefs, also captained South Africa’s national team at the 1998 and 2002 World Cups, when he played alongside Harambee Stars coach Benni McCarthy, while he was part of the Bafana Bafana team that won the 1996 Africa Cup of Nations on home soil.
