“It feels good to be here, I was here with coach Ernst before – in 2013 my matric year, I’m from Pietermaritzburg,” Petersen told the club’s website.
“It feels the same, but with a different aspect now because I am pushing to play, pushing to win a place in the team. It’s a bit different, but the general atmosphere is the same. The guys have welcomed me, the coach has welcomed me, so I’m excited for what’s ahead.
“There’s no need for adjustments, I know the surroundings, I know the area, the people within the city so I’m sure they will welcome back home to the Team of Choice.”
