Baroka FC chairman Khurishi Mphahlele has predicted a bright future for Kabelo Kgositsile, who made a big impression in his first appearance from the bench for Orlando Pirates last weekend.

Kgositsile made a fearless debut for the Buccaneers during a 2-0 Betway Premiership victory over newly promoted Milford FC at the Orlando Amstel Arena on Saturday.

He was signed by the Soweto giants a while back but sent out on loan to Baroka for more game-time.

Mphahlele has advised the Soweto giants to move their games to a stadium with a much larger capacity, now that more fans are expected to flock in just to watch the exciting winger entertain them on the pitch.

"His first match for Pirates was fantastic. He went there and fitted [in] like a hand in a glove. He is a very brave young man. I'm so excited about his future career," enthused Mphahlele, speaking exclusively to KickOff.

"I think we’re gonna see more of him.

“He is still young. Good luck to him and Orlando Pirates, they have signed a good player there. He will give them a lot of assists and provide their supporters with entertainment.

"Orlando Amstel Arena is gonna be too small for the fans who will be coming just to watch Kgositsile play. They need to find a bigger venue to accommodate the crowds that will be coming to watch the boy.

“The crowd will grow for sure," added the Bakgakga boss.
