Big‚ strong‚ mobile and a good passer of the ball."[2] He made his professional debut on 26 September 2015 in a 3–1 loss to Black Leopards, and scored his first goal in a derby match against Milano United on 16 April 2016, where it ended up being the winning goal in a 1–0 game.[3] He attended trials with the Orlando Pirates, a team in the Premier Division, in December 2015.[4][5]
