Thapelo Morena happy with being utility player at Mamelodi Sundowns

Thapelo Morena says he does not mind fulfilling the role of a utility player for Mamelodi Sundowns as long as he can contribute to the team's success.

Morena, is often used in a variety of positions by Masandawana mentor Pitso Mosimane whether it is at right-back, winger or even up front.

A characteristic of Morena's is his lightning quick speed and high stamina levels meaning he is able to cover every blade of the grass for the Brazilians.

And the 26-year-old says it doesn't matter if he plays at right-back as he is still able to influence the game in an attacking manner from that position - which is what he likes doing.

"Even though I play at right-back, when I look at my game I just don't look for the right-back possibilities. I always look for the gaps in the attacking areas and I think that gave my coaches confidence to put me in those attacking positions," Morena told KickOff.

"I also look at what right wingers do, what the strikers do and what I can do if I'm played there.

"It's more about making sure that the team benefits from whatever position I'm placed at in a particular match.

"It also depends on the tactics of the day and the opposition because I actually sit down and watch videos with the coaches before we decide what my role will be in a particular game.

"What I'm happy about is the fact that I've been able to adapt and keep my game at a good level in whatever position I've been asked to play. I also look around me and not at one position."
