Pombal Overview

The Sea Robbers legend has launched a scathing attack on football agents, accusing them of 'snatching' young talent from hardworking academies without contributing to their development. The former Buccaneers left-back expressed his frustration after seeing his developmental efforts undermined by representatives looking for a quick payday.

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.
