SuperSport United sign Atteridgeville teen
He is well-built, physically very strong and has got a very good technique.
SuperSport United Football have signed 16-year-old youngster Abram Mashele from Atteridgeville.
The teen will form part of the DStv Challenge squad under the guidance of Kwanele Kopo who is assisted by the United legend Thabo September.
Mashele joined the SuperSport United development academy at the age of 12.
“Abram Mashele is a very versatile player. He started as a central midfielder but also plays as a centre-back or a right-back. He is well-built and physically very strong. He has got a very good technique, timing and can deliver a 40/50 metre pass with ease for a player of his age,” said the SuperSport United development coach Godfrey Mosoetsa.
“He is a rare breed and a late developer. He has gone through all the development stages well, and has now joined the Diski team under the guidance of coach Kopo.”
United, who have been good to the Atteridgeville community on a much larger scale, are actively involved in worthwhile causes as far as their corporate social responsibility programme is concerned.
“We had a good working relationship with Phelindaba Local Football Association (PLFA) and annually we [have] selected players from all the clubs affiliated to the PLFA.
“Then, I would train them twice a week at Masopha grounds in Atteridgeville. I was doing this with Matthew Themba, who is now the academy kit manager, and later with Simon Makhubela, who is now the academy driver,” Mosoetsa said.
In the past, Matsatsantsa signed forward Thabiso Nkoana who also hails from the same township.
Club legends from Atteridgeville are the late Thomas Madigage and Raymond “Wewe” Seopa to mention a few.
