Michael Morton’s only wish for CT Spurs youngsters after relegation

Cape Town Spurs veteran player Michael Morton has revealed his only wish for the talented club’s youngsters after the Urban Warriors’ relegation from the DStv Premiership.

CT Spurs struggled for form and consistency throughout the entire 2023/24 campaign in the SA elite league. Their poor form saw them make a return to the Motsepe Foundation Championship only after one season.

In 30 matches, the Cape Town outfit only collected 23 points. CT Spurs recorded six victories, five draws and a massive 19 defeats.

Despite the club’s struggles, the Capetonians had some exciting youngsters who impressed in the SA top-flight. These include Liam Bern, Asenele Velebayi, Chumani Butsaka, Ashley Cupido, and Luke Baartman.

Morton hopes the club’s youngsters to be approached by some DStv Premiership teams. This will assist them in growth and become more experienced in the game.

On the other hand, Morton, 35, is aware that the club wants to keep their best players so they can quickly bounce back to the DStv Premiership.

“Yea, there are a lot [of youngsters in the team], I can name a whole bunch of players and they are very good, talented footballers,” Morton told FARPost.

“We have talents like [Asenele[ Velebayi, [Chumani] Butsaka, [Ashley] Cupido and [Luke] Baartman in the squad.

“Selfishly, the club would want to keep all their best players. But the truth is these are young professional players who want to play football at the highest level.

“One has to understand why the club would be doing that [refuse to sell players]. It will be interesting to see what the club will decide with the youngsters. The club wants to bounce back from the NFD as quickly as possible and get to the top.”
