SuperSport United goalkeeper Ronwen Williams is honoured to be named as the club’s new captain for the 2020-21 Premier Soccer League (PSL) season.

The 28-year-old is set to succeed midfielder and current captain Dean Furman, who will leave the club at the end of the current season.

The Port Elizabeth-born shotstopper is one of the club’s longest-serving players and has been at Matsatsantsa since the age of 12.

Williams has now revealed he has learned from club greats Thabo September, Bevan Fransman and Morgan Gould on how to lead.

‘It’s a huge honour for me to be appointed as the next captain. This club has been my life for the past 16 years. I just can’t wait for that big moment,’ said Williams as quoted by DailySun.

‘I’ve always known that I have leadership qualities and I learned from the likes of Bevan Fransman and Morgan Gould and Thabo September in the past.

‘It puts pressure on me as all eyes will be on me, but it’s not about myself it’s about the club. But it’s a challenge that I’m looking forward to.’
