Klate Wits' lucky charm for honours

Daine Klate could just be the lucky charm Bidvest Wits have been looking for all this time to finally win their first Absa Premiership title.

DAINE Klate could just be the lucky charm Bidvest Wits have been looking for all this time to finally win their first Absa Premiership title.

He's no fancy player, but Klate works extremely hard and never rests on his laurels. He's the type of player who can inspire a victory even on a bad day, as was the case when Wits twice came from behind to beat Golden Arrows 3-2 at Bidvest Stadium on Saturday.

The former Orlando Pirates man first curled home a free kick on 85 minutes before popping up at the near post, a minute late, to convert from a Vincent Pule cross.

"I have been saying this about Klate. You win things with that boy," Wits coach Gavin Hunt said after the game.

Klate, a five-time league winner, says he is enjoying his football again after struggling with form and injuries last season.
