Defensive midfield, right-back, right midfield, central midfield, attacking midfield, centre-back – these are all positions that the 22-year-old has played at least once since being promoted to the Chiefs first team in 2019.

Now, Blom has opened up on his versatility, saying he is able to adapt to the requirements of the team.
"Last season the coach [Stuart Baxter] played me as a right-back and then Coach Zwane said he wanted to play me in midfield, so I think it's better to adapt quickly as a player and focus on the position you are playing. right-back. I enjoy both positions," he told the club's media department.
The Chiefs youth development product also weighed in on his side's prospects of challenging the likes of Mamelodi Sundowns this season.
"It's still early in the season but we feel we should be higher on the log. It's something that we are working on. We are working very hard on collecting maximum points going forward in order to be up there with the leading teams," he concluded.
