Petrovac Overview

The Buccaneers have secured the services of the teenage winger but have been warned by his Siwelele mentor that the step up to the Soweto giants will require significant mental and technical growth but the 19-year-old possesses the raw ingredients to succeed if he can handle the immense pressure of the Mayfair spotlight.

The former Orlando Pirates star found himself at the centre of intense speculation after his name dominated headlines amid swirling rumours of a controversial switch to Naturena following his departure from the Buccaneers and subsequent loan spell at Stellenbosch. Now a free agent, and after a spell of silence during a media storm surrounding his future, the forward has broken his silence to set the record straight on the Amakhosi links.

The Buccaneers assistant coach has lauded the club's hierarchy for their foresight and belief during the defender’s rapid rise to the professional ranks. The 20-year-old recently secured a high-profile move to MLS outfit Chicago Fire after emerging as a generational talent in Soweto.

The former Buccaneers defender has officially brought the curtain down on his time with the Sea Robbers to embark on a fresh chapter in the Western Cape. The move to Stellenbosch is being hailed as a defining moment for the versatile star as he looks to reinvent himself away from Soweto.
