SuperSport United Defender Keenan Phillips Has Eyes Set On New Season! The youngster enjoyed a stellar debut season for Matsatsantsa.
Keenan Phillips is looking to continue his fine form from last season into the next. He joined SuperSport United from Bidvest Wits at the beginning of the last season.
Phillips has a couple of really impressive highlights in his first season for SuperSport.
He won a man of the match award in a 0-0 draw against champions Mamelodi Sundowns. This was in their first league encounter at the Lucas Moripe Stadium in Atteridgeville.
Phillips won his first ever national team call up this season. New technical team of Hugo Broos has been experimenting with the best young players in South Africa.
“Fitting into the new team was certainly one of the easiest things to do.” Phillips tells the SuperSport United media.
“From the technical team who constantly gave their support to my teammates who made every day at training worthwhile. When match days approach unity formed within us and us as a team gave our all.
“The welcome was amazing and I really felt at home. There are always more than one choice for a position.
“However, having a healthy competition with Siyabonga Nhlapo and Grant Kekana allowed me to work harder as well as they were a great support system to help me grow.
“The Bafana Bafana call-up is definitely a big moment for me. Playing for South Africa is definitely a privilege as I will represent my country with pride.
“I got called up whilst being at home in Cape Town. It came as a great surprise and I felt very blessed to be able to be called up whilst being with my family who is my biggest support system.
“I always believe that it is important to take every day as it comes. However, my two main goals are to play in Europe and experience the type of soccer they play there and win young player of the season.
“But at the moment I will focus on doing my job at SuperSport United Football Club.” Phillips added. SuperSport United Defender Keenan Phillips Has Eyes Set On New Season!
