Career
Having left Chippa United in the beginning of July 2020 following the expiration of his contract, Rakhale signed for Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila in November.[2] In June 2021, ahead of the 2021–22 season, he moved to Sekhukhune United.[3]
Style of play
Rakhale is known for his skills and flair on the pitch.[4] His showboating has received mixed reception, with some seeing it as "childish" or "disrespectful".[5][6] In EA Sports' FIFA 17 and FIFA 18 video games, he was one of a select few players to have five-star skills.[4]
