What Rayners Brings To Matsatsantsa

What Rayners Brings To Matsatsantsa

incoming man: Rayners will add to SSU's fire power next season

It is an open secret that Iqraam Rayners will be joining PSL giants SuperSport United at the end of the season, but what will the Tshwane outfit gain from the 24-year-old?

SuperSport's CEO, Stan Matthews, confirmed in January this year that the attacker has penned a four-year deal with SuperSport, the Cape Town-born star is set to join Matsatsantsa at the end of the 2019/20 campaign.

This season Kaitano Tembo seems to have found the right attacking combination in the form of Thamsanqa Gabuza and Bradley Grobler, who between them have scored 21 goals in all competitions. Gabuza netting six, while Grobler is in the running for the Golden Boot with 15 strikes.

SuperSport also have Evans Rusike on their books however the Zimbabwean has been far from prolific this season, scoring just two goals.

In Rayners, SuperSport have acquired a man that has scored 35 goals over the past two-and-a-half seasons at Stellenbosch FC, including five in his debut Absa Premiership season so far, as well as a contribution of six assists.

At 24, Rayners is also a more youthful, long-term replacement for the likes of Grobler and Gabuza who are both aged 32.

What Rayners does also offer is versatility, with his blistering pace and impressive array of skills, the former Santos man can easily play as a winger or a second striker behind a typical number nine.

SuperSport also have the talents of Sipho Mbule and Teboho Mokoena, both who are blessed with an eye for a pass, something that Rayners could benefit from and hopefully replicate his goalscoring feats that saw Stellies promoted to the top flight last season.
