Ronwen Williams on third choice Bafana Bafana goalkeeper Renaldo Leaner: He brings in so much quality to the goalkeepers and he can also learn from me

Renaldo Leaner is a bright prospect for Bafana Bafana.

The Sekhukhune United goal-minder is currently in camp with Bafana as they face Panama in two friendly matches of this Fifa break.

The two teams played 1-1 last night at Moses Mabhida Stadium and they will face each other on Tuesday night in Cape Town again.

Leaner is third choice after Ricardo Goss and first choice goalkeeper, Ronwen Williams.

The Mamelodi Sundowns shot-stopper disclosed Leaner brings quality in their space.

“First and foremost is the quality that he brings into the goalkeeping department. He’s been one of the most consistent goalkeepers for the past few years. He’s done extremely well. You know he’s earned his call-up with his performances and how he’s played for his team,” said Williams.

“There are a lot of moments where he carried his team on his back. You can see him during training; he doesn’t feel like he’s new to the team because he’s been part of it before. You know, he comes with the right energy, the right spirit, and he’s willing to learn as well, and that’s good for him.

“He’s a good addition. There are so many goalkeepers who are doing extremely well in the league. A lot of people have been complaining about the shortage of goalkeepers in South Africa, but I don’t think it’s the case. Now, there are so many for the coach Hugo Broos to choose from—people are always questioning—whereas a few months ago, people were saying there’s a shortage. So, it’s a good headache to have, and it keeps us all on our toes.”
