The Portuguese tactician recalled seeing the 22-year-old go through a difficult period before finding his feet and becoming an important part of the Masandawana defence.

Downs may have established a healthy lead at the summit of the Betway Premiership, but club legend Eric Ramasike is refusing to get carried away just yet. Despite a dominant victory over the Bloemfontein outfit, the former midfielder believes there is still plenty of work to be done in the race for the South African top-flight crown.
