The South African Under-20 men’s team star took one of the penalties in his side’s 5-3 penalty shootout win over Kaizer Chiefs in the Nedbank Cup.
“He is doing nicely. We brought him along in a couple of games with a few substitutions here and there, and he played in Caf (Confederation Cup),” said Baxter.
“I would like to send him to the World Cup with the U20s. Our injury list will dictate if we can or we can’t and his preparation with the team if the coach can work that out.
“But undoubtedly he is a talented boy that I am sure South African football [fans] will get pleasure to watch.”
