Royal AM co-coach Abram Nteo has highlighted the importance of midfielder Mfundo Thikazi following his recent stellar displays.
The coach reserved special praise for the talented midfielder on how he has improved his game in the PSL.
The 23-year-old footballer has been playing a key role in the decisive moment for his side in the midfield.
And Nteo believes the player’s clever runs have demonstrated that he is more than just a player but a rare source of good cheer to Thwihli Thwahla’s midfield.
His contribution to the KwaZulu-Natal side has been above expectations, and his mentor was quick to acknowledge his midfielder’s efforts.
So far, the player has played a total number of 19 games across all competitions. In the process, he has managed to score four goals for the team.
