With the 32-year-old player’s contract ending in June, the Matatilele-born star is yet to sign a new deal with Kabo Yellow.

“[He is] important for the future of this football club, [he has] incredible leadership qualities, very important to have around – the mentality, the insight.

“I even use him as a third-fourth assistant coach to tell you truth because he sits on the bench, he gives me a lot of information what he sees. He’s got incredible experience, AJ.

“Apart from the human qualities, which is some that we appreciate and love having in the club, that’s from a football perspective.

“The contractual and financial issues are handled in a different department at the football club and I’m sure that when there is an update to be given, the club will handle that,” the Sundowns coach concluded.
