'I don't doubt that she will succeed' - Desiree Ellis backs Refiloe Jane to excel at AC Milan

South Africa women head coach Desiree Ellis believes midfielder Refiloe Jane will be a success with her new club AC Milan.

The 27-year-old Banyana Banyana vice-captain joined the Italian Serie A women's side on a one-year deal two weeks ago after parting ways with Australian outfit Canberra United earlier this year.

The 56-year-old, who departs for the Fifa Football Conference and Awards in Milan on Friday, is upbeat Jane will excel in Italy enough to pave for more players transfer from Africa.

“We have always spoken about players going to top clubs in the big leagues and Refiloe Jane going to a club like AC Milan," Ellis told Safa.
