"It is always nice to come back to the club where everything started for me but emotions aside, it is about getting this club out of the difficult position it finds itself in and getting up on the league table as quickly as possible," Bartlett told Briefly News.

Formerly known as Ajax Cape Town, the club is currently 14th in the GladAfrica Championship league standings and have only won one game so far this season. Bartlett has some serious goals about succeeding at the club.

"The goal is to have success and that means fighting for every win and get promotion to the PSL. We know it will not be easy but possible with the hard work that will be put in," said Bartlett.

It seemed like all hope was lost for the national team a few months ago but a quick rebuild by Hugo Broos has lifted the spirits of many citizens.

Speaking exclusively to Briefly News, former Bafana Bafana player Matthew Booth details how he feels about the current performances and if the team can go any further in the competition.

"First of all, we need to give credit to Broos for picking a very young team. Every coach has a different opinion, football is very subjective so what I see is not necessarily going to be what he sees and I think as football fans and pundits, we need to accept that," said Booth.
