Leggy and quick striker who is good at either running onto chances or at holding the ball up for others to join the play, Masinga was signed by Leeds United at the same time as they acquired Radebe but he did not settle as well and ended up in Italy with Bari where he has fought against relegation with some important goals. Good at improvising to get his shots in when he sees the chance to score.
