Jessica Wade is destined for great things - Bantwana coach Simphiwe Dludlu

The South Africa U17 female team's coach Simphiwe Dludlu believes Jessica Wade is destined for great things in the colours of the country.

Bantwana finished as runners-up at the maiden Cosafa U17 Cup in Mauritius, securing four wins in five matches before losing 2-1 to winners Uganda in the final.

Wade scored five goals in five matches to clinch the Player of the Tournament award, and the former Banyana Banyana star lauded her leadership.
