“I was so surprised with the way he plays, he has the big heart of a lion,” said Lekgwathi.

“You can see that he takes advice from some people like his former coach who played for Pirates, Joseph Makhanya. You can see from how he plays that he has been developed well and guided by someone, who played for Pirates.

“He plays so simple; he knows when to take a man on and where to pass. So he is a complete player and I just hope he will grow with the same attitude.

“From my experience of playing at Pirates, there are some youngsters, who come there and become big-headed after some few games. I just hope and pray he doesn’t fall into that trap and some of them were good but they are nowhere today.”

“I think he must just remain humble and continue to work hard.”
