TS Galaxy midfielder Mamello Makhabane looking forward to 2025 HWBSL season

The Rockets picked up well in the final round of the Super League last season, securing a spot in the top three with 65 points and three points ahead of the University of Johannesburg ladies.

Speaking to SABC Sport, Makhabane believes there is no small team in the league and therefore looks forward to a competitive season.

"Yes, the team did very well last season and our expectations are naturally high for the upcoming season but we know this league season won't be an easy one because there are no small or big teams. But obviously, us, as TS Galaxy, our expectations are very high," Makhabane said.

Makhabane says she will continue to use her experience as a senior player to help groom the younger players in the team.

"Playing leadership as a senior player I believe is very crucial in guiding young players because I've also been guided and groomed by the coaches before. So, I think me helping the younger players can also benefit the team and I also believe that my leadership can also help younger players to develop their skills, help them to raise their confidence and understand the team's dynamics,” she added.

“So, I still see myself continuing to help the young players because I also want to see them reach wherever I reached because I believe I was groomed well as a player. So, taking my experience and giving it to younger players, I think it can also help the team."
