TIME TO SHINE

REEVE FROSLER COULD BE AN IMPORTANT PIECE OF THE PUZZLE FOR CLUB AND COUNTRY IN THE FUTURE

- Mazola Molefe

Reeve Frosler is showing signs of being back to his best again - the kind of consistency I needed if the Kaizer Chiefs utility player is to catch Bafana Bafana coach Hugo Broos' attention.

When he moved to the Soweto club from Bidvest Wits early in 2019, then Amakhosi coach Ernst Middendorp saw this as a massive coup for the club considering the complex nature of January deals.

The following season, when the player had become an integral part of the squad, the German tactician told journalists it was impossible to omit Frosler from his team after playing him out of position during the Soweto Derby.

It opened the door for Middendorp to explore with the former youth international as a defender, full back and midfielder.

Reports of interest from France, Germany and Major League Soccer clubs around that time came as little surprise, but with coaching changes at Naturena between then and now this has naturally affected Frosler.

But he has bounced back.

"Obviously leaving Wits for Chiefs has been a great move for Reeve," says Paul Mitchell, director at SSG an agency representing the player for several years now since he turned professional.

"I think he has kicked on again on the pitch, recently married, became a father. And yes, there has been interest in Reeve at different levels and places locally and internationally as well."
