This season will be the 23-year-old’s second pre-season with the first team squad and he admits that fighting for a place in the Chiefs team is tough, but he is enjoying the ‘healthy competition’ between him, Itumeleng Khune, Virgil Vries and Brylon Petersen.

‘It’s tough, but I am enjoying it,’ Bvuma told his club’s official website.

‘There is a healthy competition for places.

‘Virgil is bringing in a lot of experience. He’s a good goalkeeper. We are all helping each other.’
