Skilful Orlando Pirates winger, Thabo Rakhale has heaped praise on Bucs coach Eric Tinkler, for the gained confidence and courage in his game.
‘Jomo’ has been in scintillating form for the Buccaneers, scoring a well-chipped goal to hand Bucs a 1-0 win over CS Sfaxien in their away CAF Confederation Cup fixture last weekend.
Speaking to the Siya crew during Bucs' media open day ahead of the much anticipated fifth edition of the Carling Black Label Cup on Saturday, Rakhale said that it's not all the time that he will do the tricks with the ball but only when it is necessary.
"I am happy to play the way I am playing because the coach encourages me on my game. He gave me the chance to play and he always tells me how to play for the team and keep the supporters happy as well.
“I am enjoying my game and I am growing as a player and I will continue working hard," Rakhale explained.
Bucs will look to defend the CBL trophy when they host the Amakhosi at FNB Stadium.
The match will commence at 15h30.
