Gokulam FC Overview

The Glamour Boys are looking to put their continental disappointment behind them as they turn their attention to domestic silverware in the Carling Knockout. The utility man has emphasised the club's burning ambition to win a trophy this season as they prepare for the challenges ahead.

Amakhosi’s 20-year-old forward has become a mainstay under the French tactician this season, but questions remain over his best position. Former Cape Town Spurs assistant Benson Mhlongo believes the youngster is being deployed in the wrong role as a traditional striker at Naturena.

The Buccaneers coach has urged his squad to remain focused as they prepare to begin their Carling Knockout title defence. The Sea Robbers are set to host Milford this week, and the head coach is under no illusions about the scale of the challenge despite his side's recent successes.

In the fiercely contested world of South African football, it is rare to find an Amakhosi player praising a cornerstone of the Buccaneers squad. However, rising Amakhosi defender Xolani Cossa has broken ranks to reveal how he models his own career resilience on the leadership shown by the Sea Robbers skipper.
