Bafana Bafana head coach, Hugo Broos, has provided insight into his decision to call up Stellenbosch FC forward Devin Titus as a replacement for the injured Mihlali Mayambela. Broos emphasized that Titusβs playing style and his ability to contribute in critical moments made him the ideal choice. The 23-year-old forward has shown his capabilities in the Premier Soccer League (PSL) with Stellenbosch FC, and Broos believes he can bring a new level of energy to the national team.
Broos described Titus as βa very dangerous playerβ who can be a significant threat to opposing defenses. His pace, technical skills, and versatility make him a valuable asset, and Broos is confident that he will complement the current squad well. The decision to replace Mayambela with Titus comes as part of Broos’s effort to strengthen the team, especially given the attacking depth that Titus offers.
The injury to Mayambela created a gap in the squad, and Broos was keen to find a player who could offer something unique. Titusβs potential to create opportunities and score goals is something that Broos sees as vital for the teamβs upcoming fixtures. This move shows Broos’s trust in the young forward and his belief that Titus will rise to the occasion when given the opportunity to represent his country on the international stage.
