Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos provides update on Shandre Campbell after visiting former club Club Brugge  - 'This is someone who is on the list'

Bafana Bafana head coach Hugo Broos has hinted at an imminent senior team involvement for teenager Shandre Campbell.

Broos revealed that he visited Campbell's team, Club Brugge, in Belgium recently, and he was impressed by the 19-year-old's progress.

The former Cameroon national team coach said he was given a very positive update on the teenager, whom he says is on his mind whenever he thinks about young players and the future of Bafana.

“This is someone, if I think about young players and the list we have, looking at the future of Bafana, this is someone who is on the list. I heard very positive things about Campbell in Brugge,” Broos told reporters.

“In November I was in Brugge - the head of youth; he came to me, and he was very happy and said he is close to the first team, a few times on the bench, made his debut, so they are bringing him in [gradually].

“It shows a good team who knows how to bring in a player; they know how to give him the right information before he gets into the first team," he added.

“I think by the end of this season or by next season he will get chances in Brugge. With his capacities and qualities, I think we will have a very good, young, talented player," Broos concluded.

Since he joined Broos' former club, Campbell has settled very well and has been promoted to the senior team.

He has since made his debut and was among the substitutes when Brugge faced Aston Villa in the UEFA Champions League Round of 16 clash.

This season, he has scored seven goals and has two assists from 16 games in the Belgian Challenger Pro League.

After Broos' moving assessment of the youngster, eyes will be on him to see whether he will call up the forward when he names his senior squad in the near future.
