Club career
Moroka Swallows
5 years after joining Moroka Swallows' youth academy at the age of 14, in 2008 Bhengu started playing senior football in the Premier Soccer League. After scoring a brace against Kaizer Chiefs Bhengu was praised and compared to Benni McCarthy.[1]
Bay United
In January 2011, Bhengu joined Bay United on a 6-month loan deal.[2] At Bay United, Bhengu reverted back to playing as a striker.[3]
Chippa United
In January 2013, Bhengu joined Chippa United on a two-and-a-half-year deal,[4] but was released two weeks later with Chippa United citing a lack of match fitness as the reason.[5][6]
Thanda Royal Zulu
In the second half of 2013, Bhengu joined Thanda Royal Zulu and started reviving his career.[7] Bhengu finished the 2014–15 season as the top-scorer, scoring 22 goals and setting a new National First Division record.[8]
SuperSport United
After winning the National First Division's golden boot award, Bhengu turned down offers from Kaizer Chiefs and Mamelodi Sundowns to join SuperSport United.[9][10] Bhengu's first season with SuperSport United was not succesful, managing only four substitute appearances, prompting him to request a loan move to gain game-time.[11]
