“It was wonderful season. I have been scoring goals right from the start of the season, but injuries affected me a little. But I finished the league strongly and hopefully, we can start from next year.
“As a striker, you just need to believe in yourself. Scoring goals is all that matters and as a forward, you need to score in order to help your team win.”

“As of now, I cannot say much about him joining a South African team or interest from there because we have not received any approach as a team,” said Rachier.
“We first give a chance to the player and his agent to look up into it and if there is need, they approach us. It is like a tripartite relationship.
“If there is an opportunity for him to move, we will not stand in his way. We believe in giving players a chance to advance their careers.”
