Award will help keep Mphela on course

BAFANA Bafana striker Katlego Mphela will use the PSL players' player of the season award to spur him on, especially on days when he does not hit the target - such as during Bafana's friendly against Bulgaria on Monday night.

BAFANA Bafana striker Katlego Mphela will use the PSL players' player of the season award to spur him on, especially on days when he does not hit the target - such as during Bafana's friendly against Bulgaria on Monday night.

Mphela said, much like his two exceptional strikes against Spain in last year's Confederations Cup , it is about confidence and the motivation to always raise the bar.

As the leader of Carlos Alberto Parreira's strike force, it is up to "Killer" to again produce the goods as Bafana prepare to tackle Colombia in another international friendly tomorrow night at Soccer City.

"The acknowledgement from the players is something special. They should know, because they are the competition. But the award also means everyone is looking at me to see what I do, now that I have won the awards," Mphela said.
