He may have been a sensation in his first full season with Bloemfontein Celtic, but Erick Mathoho\u2019s coach believes he has some way to go still.<\/p>\n

The lanky centre back from Limpopo shone brightly in a very young and inexperienced Celtic defence, which saw Siwelele concede just 24 goals all season. Only Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs conceded less (23 goals).<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve said Mathoho must only leave for Europe, not another PSL team. He needs more time to develop because he\u2019s only had one full season in the Premiership,\u201d Celtic coach Clinton Larsen says.<\/p>\n

Interest from Orlando Pirates and Mamelodi Sundowns has been very strong and Larsen can now reflect on why Mathoho needs another season at Celtic.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve got Erick on a special training program to strengthen his upper body. He\u2019s naturally a big boy, but he doesn\u2019t have the same upper body power as Morgan Gould or Bongani Khumalo just yet,\u201d Larsen explains.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is his next target and we\u2019re working on it. He\u2019ll soon be at this level and then we believe he\u2019ll be overseas material.\u201d<\/p>\n

It goes without saying that Mathoho has made everybody sit up and take notice. He is tall, quick, reliable and seems unfazed by opposing strikers.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m happy we\u2019ve kept the core of my team together. It will be good for our younger players, like Mathoho, to have this continuation from last season,\u201d Larsen says.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt would not have been good for any of them if we sold players who have only just come onto the Premiership scene.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n
