I know I will go there with tons of experience, which gives me the confidence to know I will fit in well with this team.

"They were in need of a central defender with leadership qualities and I guess I fit the bill, and that's one of my strengths as a player..

“I am looking forward to go and represent not only South Africa but the whole of Africa with pride. It's time people out there notice how good and talented African footballers really are.
