Percy Tau

Percy Muzi Tau (born 13 May 1994) is a South African professional footballer who plays as a forward for Qatar Stars League side Qatar SC and the South Africa national team.

Tau began his footballing career with Premier Soccer League side Mamelodi Sundowns where he made 100 appearances either side of a loan to Witbank Spurs. During his time with Sundowns, he won the league title twice and the CAF Champions League once and was named Footballer of the Year and joint-top-goalscorer in his final season with the club.

Tau joined Brighton & Hove Albion in 2018 but, due to work-permit complications, was loaned out to Belgian side Union SG with whom he won the Proximus League Player of the Season award. His form earned him a short-term move to Club Brugge, where he won a league winners' medal the following season, before being loaned out for a third consecutive season when he signed for rivals Anderlecht in 2020.

Tau signed for Egyptian Premier League side Al Ahly in 2021 on a two-year contract. He became the highest scoring South African in the FIFA Club World Cup in December 2023 when he scored his third goal of the competition.
