The 24-year-old forward has largely played a supporting role to Tshegofatso Mabasa, the Golden Boot winner from the previous season at Orlando Pirates. Despite being in the shadow of his teammate for much of his time at the club, the young striker has shown remarkable progress this season, making a significant impact whenever called upon. He made an immediate impression by scoring a quick-fire brace against Polokwane City in September, a performance that showcased his potential and ability to deliver when needed.
Since then, he has continued to contribute to Pirates’ attacking force, scoring important goals that have played a pivotal role in the team’s strong start to the season. His strikes against SuperSport United and a crucial match-winner against Richards Bay have helped the Soweto giants maintain their perfect record in the league, with seven consecutive wins from seven games. These contributions have not only boosted the team’s position in the league standings but have also raised his profile as a key player for Pirates as they head into the international break.
His form is a testament to his growing confidence and development as a player. It’s clear that he is stepping up in a season where Pirates have shown their strength, and he is proving that he can be a reliable and consistent performer, regardless of his role in the team. As the season progresses, the young striker will likely continue to be an integral part of the squad, contributing to their hopes of challenging for domestic and continental titles.
