In a squad that boasts the likes of Ayanda Patosi and Teko Modise, Fielies claims that Norodien is just as lethal a dead ball specialist as his teammates.

‘Both of them (Patosi and Modise) are great free-kick takers, but there is Skilo as well that can really strike a ball,’ the Bafana Bafana international told TFG SoccerClub.

The Salt River born man also made mention of Bafana top scorer and coach Benni McCarthy, who he revealed still boasts a lethal right foot.

‘Coach Benni often does often (take part in freekicks with the team) and he still has this good technique, that if it doesn’t go in then it’s definitely on target,’ he concluded.
