Masandawana coach has broken his silence regarding the uncertain future of the talented winger, admitting the 22-year-old has turned down the chance to reintegrate into the first-team squad. The Bafana Bafana international appears determined to secure a move away from the South African giants following a period of tension on social media and a loan spell abroad.
The Bafana Bafana youngster came off the bench on the hour mark and scored his first league goal for the club just four minutes later to put his side 3-1 up. The goal follows on from his penalty shoot out winner from the week before when The Unionists lifted the Belgian Super Cup.
Amakhosi recently finalised the marquee signing their fans have been desperate for, but former Glamour Boys winger Thuso Phala warns that the arrival of the former Stellenbosch brings unprecedented expectations.
