Career

Links was part of the Cape Town City team which won the MTN 8 Cup in 2018. [2] On 1 September 2019, Links joined Danish Superliga club Aarhus Gymnastikforening on a contract until June 2024. [3] He made his debut for the club on 15 September in a 3–0 home win over AaB, coming on as an 82nd-minute substitute for Jakob Ankersen. [4] [5]

Originally a forward, the arrival of head coach Uwe Rösler in the 2022/23 season saw Links shifted to the wingback position. During the season, Links adapted extremely well, delivering a Man of the Match performance in the final game of the season, in which AGF came back from 0–3 at home against Brøndby IF to draw 3–3 to secure 3rd place in the Superliga. [6]

In 2023, he was given a 94 rated Shapeshifter FIFA card, a 30-point difference from his original 64 rated bronze card.
