According to KickOff, Vermezovic was content with Rakhale’s debut performance against SuperSport United and then handed the 24-year-old a starting place in the game against University of Pretoria.

“Rakhele is working very hard and also he is a very talented player,” said Vermezovic.

“Unfortunately he didn't get an opportunity before to play, but maybe he will start now.

“He made a good game against Tuks, he could have scored, he moved the ball around and he was really a playmaker. But at the end of the game he lacked fitness and he was very tired.”

I'd keep Siya captain for now, but look to have someone else for 2027.
