Bafana Bafana talented midfielder Jamie Webber has reacted to his full first start in the USL Championship for FC Tulsa in the United States of America.
Webber joined Tulsa in March this year from Betway Premiership side Sekhukhune United after a lengthy absence from competitive football.
The 27-year-old had signed for Babina Noko in July 2023 following his stellar performances at SuperSport United. During his stint at the Limpopo club, Webber managed to score five goals and provide five assists in 36 matches across all competitions.
Before Webber could sign for the American club, Tulsa, he was heavily linked with a potential move to Kaizer Chiefs.

Following Tulsa’s 2-1 defeat to Birmingham Legion FC in Group B of the USL Cup that took place at ONEOK Field in the early hours of Sunday morning, Webber expressed his gratitude to have been granted his first start since joining the club in March.
Webber played the entire 90 minutes during their game against Legion. Overall, the SA-born central midfielder has featured in six matches in all competitions since his arrival at Tulsa.
“My first start for FC Tulsa. Grateful for the opportunity, proud to wear the badge, and feeling the love from the fans,” said Webber on his official Instagram account.
“Thank you for showing up and showing out. This is just the beginning.”
