The 25-year-old has been impressive this season and also caught the eye of Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos. He’s competing with Mamelodi Sundowns’ Khuliso Mudau and Nyiko Mobbie of SuperSport United for the right-back position at Bafana.

“Chiefs were leading the race to sign him and unfortunately for him, the move didn’t happen before the last transfer window closed,” a source confirmed. 

“There have been enquiries about him and I’m told Pirates are also monitoring the situation. Remember Chiefs wanted to also get his teammate Oswin Appollis but that move also didn’t happen because the City chairman is a hard man to convince into selling.”
