Which parts of your game have improved the most during your time at Sundowns?
I’m now more technically aware. I read the game better and I get myself involved with the game at the right time and in the right areas.
What do you love about your position?
As a center midfield, one needs to be aggressive and able to pull strings, both in offensive play and defensive strategies. Above all, your work ethic must be unmatched.
What keeps you hungry for success and motivates you to put in the hours of hard work?
I want to give hope and faith to the young ones coming up from my hometown of Bethlehem, as well as the rest of Free State province. The world is full of opportunities, so they need to define their path and purse their goals.
