Nkosi has been training with Amakhosi since Itumeleng Khune’s suspension. Furthermore, members of technical staff have earmarked the promising youngster as Khune’s potential long-term replacement. Khune current contract expires in June. Therefore, if he leaves in 2024 and either one of Brandon Peterson or Bruce Bvuma are sold or loaned out then we could see him in action.

Meanwhile, Molefe was promoted last season and is yet to feature. Ironically, he is also a potential long-term replacement for Khune. Having spent a season training with the first team, coaches may give him a chance to impress.

McCarthy was promoted last season and will have also earned rapport with the coaches.

The lanky centre back is one for the future as he has all the makings of a brilliant defender. He is tall, strong, courageous and has vision.

Moreover, Donay Jansen has been spotted training with the senior team couple of times over the last year. However, he is yet to earn promotion but this is expected to change soon for the attacking and skillful winger. The cousin of Amakhosi legend Bernard Parker has a bright future ahead of him.

Vilakazi has been tipped to make the step up after being voted into the All Stars team, according to SoccerLaduma. ‘Obrigado‘ is an Amakhosi fan-favourite known for his dribbling and skills. He also had a chance to train with the first team before the current season. 2024 may be his year.
