“The decision to prioritise his schooling is a testament to the club’s dedication to developing well-rounded individuals.
“The issue is just about him completing high school, and then we will see more of him in the senior team. I believe that he is going to do great things; he is the next big thing at Chiefs.
“You will see once he gets a chance to play,” the insider continued.
This approach to player development is admirable, showcasing the club’s commitment to not only nurturing young talents on the field but also in their personal lives.
