With the new PSL season set to start on August 1, we pick a few DStv Diski Challenge DDC youngsters who have proven they are ready to dazzle in the Premiership.
Phopho', the 18-year-old dribbling wizard, was one of Pirates key players as they won their maiden DDC title last season, where he scored nine goals and racked up nine assists. Padime, a flamboyant playmaker who can also operate on the flanks, was Bucs DDC top-scorer last season. Last season Padime trained with the first team now and then.
Phago, 21, started training with the first team at Naturena towards the end of last season. Phago is a modern box-to-box midfielder mainly admired for his fantastic stamina, explosive pace and tactical versatility, which has seen him seamlessly operating as an attacking midfielder, a deep-lying playmaker, a right-winger, or even a right-back when the team requires defensive coverage.
