"He hasn't played the whole year the boy, he was out for so long, it's such a bity but he was fantastic, I had him from Wits, I let him come here when we sold out (status sold to Tshakhuma Tsha Madzivhandila)," Hunt said on SuperSport TV.

"Great attitude, he had a bit of learning time in Cape Town. I know the boy well but anyway fantastic performance from everybody, Keenan included you know.

"When we played Stellenbosch, I told him you gonna play next week in two weeks time, not enough time but he was magnificent, everybody was," he said.
