The 18-year-old Ngcobo suffered a long term injury in Amakhosi’s game against SuperSport United at Mbombela Stadium on March 15. He was part of the group of youngsters who were promoted and given a chance by Ernst Middendorp.
“I am happy because I have worked with these guys from the development sides. We know all the struggles we went through to get here. To see them with the senior team is great. I’d like to thank the coach for giving us a chance. This is a big team and the expectation is for the team to always win and it’s rare for a coach to believe in youngsters in such situations. I hope we will grab the opportunity with both hands,” said Bvuma recently.
Ngcobo had also helped the national Under-20, Amajita side to qualify for the World Cup but will likely miss the main event.
“It’s really sad because they have just qualified for the World Cup but now he will not be able to make the squad because of the injury. I feel sad for him. But only God knows why, it is all His plan,” said Bvuma.
