Bloem Celtic defender Bongani Sam models his game around Bayern Munich's David Alaba

Bloemfontein Celtic starlet Bongani Sam has explained why he will forever be grateful to former Kaizer Chiefs coach Steve Komphela.

The left-back was a revelation in Phunya Sele Sele's colours last season after being handed his professional debut by Komphela.

Sam, who was nominated for the PSL Young Player of the Season award, discussed how Komphela has helped him thus far in his career.

“Komphela introduced me to the rigours of the PSL,” Sam told Daily Sun.

The 21-year-old continued to enjoy regular game-time after Komphela left Celtic for Lamontville Golden Arrows midway through the campaign.
