The opportunity, the professionalism

But after leaving school he moved to England in 2011, committing himself to four years there so he could become eligible to play for the national side.
"The opportunity, the professionalism, I don't know if I can put my exact finger on it but there was a combination of feeling really welcome, feeling loved, feeling pushed as well," he said of his decision to make himself available for England instead of South Africa.
