Webber makes bold statement about his first season at Sekhukhune

Sekhukhune United midfielder Jamie Webber has made a bold statement about his first season at the club.

Webber joined Sekhukhune from Tshwane side SuperSport United ahead of the current DStv Premiership campaign.

Upon his arrival at Babina Noko, he quickly became one of the key players for the team. At first, he worked under coach Brandon Truter who was later shown the door for poor results. The 26-year-old is now under coach Lehlohonolo Seema’s guidance.

So far, the talented midfielder has scored five goals and provided five assists in 35 matches in all competitions for the Polokwane-based side.

However, in the last three matches, things seemed to be going south for him. He was substituted off twice before halftime, against Mamelodi Sundowns and Royal AM. Additionally, he wasn’t included in the matchday squad for the encounter against SuperSport United.

WHAT JAMIE WEBBER SAID ABOUT HIS FIRST SEASON AT SEKHUKHUNE?

Webber has singled out the 2023/24 season as his best since he started playing professional football.

“Things have been good, things have been going well. I think I started the season very well. I feel like this has been my best season personally since I have been playing in the PSL,” Webber told FARPost.

“The stats are there to show it as well, I think this was a door I had to use, this was an opportunity I had to use to be better.  So far, I think I have taken that opportunity.

“It can be level of maturity, when I signed at SuperSport I was really young. I didn’t expect much gametime as well.

Webber believes he’s at a stage where he’s no longer under the wings of older guys, he feels he has to take charge and show what he has been learning.

“Now, I feel like I’m getting older, I have to take charge, there is no time to just let things happen. I have to take each opportunity that I get, I feel like that’s the change. I’m no longer the young boy, I have to show what I have learnt.”
