Former Milford FC midfielder Mvelo Zikakayo has spoken highly of Orlando Pirates midfielder Sigomoshe, describing him as an exceptional footballer who has the potential to become an influential figure at the Soweto-based club.
Zikakayo, who previously played alongside the youngster at Milford FC, believes Sigomoshe has the technical ability and footballing intelligence required to succeed at a bigger club. His confidence in the midfielder comes from their time together, during which he had the opportunity to experience his qualities firsthand.
Speaking to Soccer Laduma, the former Milford FC player explained why he rates Sigomoshe so highly, recalling the positive influence his former teammate had on their performances.
“Sigomoshe is a very good player. Without sounding like I am putting pressure on him, but that guy is a star. I played with him and I know what I am talking about. He made things happen for us and I really enjoyed playing alongside him,” Zikakayo told Soccer Laduma.
His remarks highlight the strong impression Sigomoshe left on those who previously shared the pitch with him. Zikakayo's experience playing alongside the midfielder has given him confidence that the youngster possesses qualities capable of making a difference at the highest level of South African football.
However, establishing himself at Orlando Pirates will require more than natural ability. The Buccaneers are a club with considerable expectations, and competition for places in the squad means every player must work hard to secure regular playing opportunities.
Sigomoshe will therefore need to maintain high standards, demonstrate consistency and take advantage of every chance provided by the technical team.
Orlando Pirates have continued to strengthen their squad while giving emerging footballers opportunities to develop and contribute to the team's ambitions.
For Sigomoshe, the challenge now is to reproduce the performances that impressed his former teammate and convince the coaching staff that he deserves an important role in the squad.
