The following year, in April 2011, Tale went again to Serbia, this time along his national team teammate Nkau Lerotholi, to trials with a top league Serbian club FK Jagodina, however both of them did not stayed in the team, and Tale went back to FK Srem who still wanted to sign him since his previous trial a year earlier.
After confirming his health form and after the agreement between the two clubs was reached, Tale finally joined Srem in late August 2011[2] making his league debut on September 4[3] in a match against RFK Novi Sad, already counting for the 4th round of the 2011–12 Serbian First League, the second Serbian tier.
