University of Pretoria's head coach, Shaun Bartlett, believes that the inclusion of Daine Klate in the senior national side is an added incentive to the team's aspirations.

The hardworking Bidvest Wits player is one of the stars in the Bafana Bafana squad in their preparations for the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifier on the weekend.
Bafana are scheduled to face Senegal at the Peter Mokaba Stadium on Saturday in their next game, and Bartlett has emphasised that coach Ephraim 'Shakes' Mashaba and the team should go for a win against Senegal on home soil.
"It's pretty simple and there is no compromise – based on the fact that we drew the first match and we are now playing at home, we have to win against Senegal! You must remember that only top teams will qualify for the 2018 World Cup in Russia, so there are no second chances or best second place. We have to make sure that, in order to be on top of that group, every home match is a victory. Playing at home and knowing that we need a win, we need to be a little bit more attacking than when we played Burkina Faso. I thought Eleazar Rodgers did fairly well in the last match and got into some good areas, but was unfortunate not to get into the scoresheet," he said.
"Again, those are things we need to rectify. Scoring goals is a problem that every coach is moaning about in this country, not just the national team. It's something that has been bothering us for a while because, in order to win matches, you must have decent goalscorers. I also believe that the inclusion of Daine Klate is an added incentive."
