Collin Benjamin, head coach of Namibia’s men’s national team, feels that the squad is making improvement as more players from the Southern Africa nation sign with clubs in the South African Premier Soccer League.
The South African Premier Soccer League is currently ranked as the sixth best league on the African continental.
Midfielder Aprocius Petrus is latest player to join Cape Town City a few months after signing striker Prins Tjiueza.
Others playing in the PSL include Rian Hanamub at Amazulu, Deon Hotfo at Orlando Pirates, Peter Shalulile at Mamelodi Sundowns. Llyod Kazapua joined Sekhukhune United recently.
The Brave Warriors Coach is confident Petrus will positively contribute to the team’s success next season.
“Definitely and also just the attributes he brings physically and his mentality is just crazy, he is the guy that wants to work, he is coachable and he wants to learn.
” It was not a surprise that he is winning this man of the match awards. I think for us now, he is a young player he is 25, which one can say on the continent he is young, but he is actually in a good age,” said the Coach.
Benjamin praised the South Africa’s PSL for its impact on Namibia’s football development.
