Nyathi was also part of the CT Spurs football that won the League in South Africa in 1995. Nyathi, who played over 40 games for South Africa, also played for Kaizer Chiefs before embarking on a European career that saw him play his trade at Tenerife (in Spain), St Gallen (in Switzerland), Cagliari (in Italy) and Ankaragucu (in Turkey).
