Apparently a 17-year-old who has been at the club since the age of eight. He has netted 41 goals in the past two and a half seasons for the club’s development squads. His best tally came in the 2018/19 campaign when he scored 24 goals for the U16s.

Good luck to him.

When the club generously made all U18 and U23 games free to watch (where possible) I have been an avid watcher of all U18 and U23 games. The timings usually coincide with me hitting the treadmill so it's a double win.

Siyabonga has been impressive in the youth set-up and has gone under the radar a bit as other players have hit the headlines, namely Rubin Colwill.

The impressive thing about Siyabonga is that he is only 17 and has been a regular scorer at all youth levels, even when the youth set-up was poor. I would say his main attributes are his pace, strength and finishing.

He was even been picked for South Africa in their 40 man senior squad recently.
