Tinkler: How I turned ex-Orlando Pirates star Kutumela into Bafana Bafana material

Maritzburg United coach Eric Tinkler says he has made forward Thabiso Kutumela a complete player since taking over the technical reigns at the Team of Choice.

The former Orlando Pirates player has been one of Tinkler’s main men at Maritzburg and featured in 25 matches last season.

The player is expected to continue with his regular role at the KwaZulu-Natal club in the upcoming season and Tinkler is happy with the way he has brought out the best from the 27-year-old.
