Coach of Ajax Cape Town Roger De Sa says he’s been impressed with the quick adaptation of Lawrence Lartey to South African football.
The 22-year-old joined the Urban Warriors last month after signing a contract.
Lartey is however yet to make his debut for the side as he is yet to receive his work permit.
But coach Roger De Sa has been impressed with the Ghana defender’s improvement in training for the side.
“He’s young, but has a lot of leadership qualities,” De Sa said.
“He’s captained the national U-20 and U-23 sides of Ghana, and played in the Ghanaian national team as well.
“He’s adapted to our style of play – not just our style, but the South African style of play which is a bit different.
“He’s enjoying it out here, he’s a good professional and still a young boy, but I find with every training session he steps up a little bit and he improves each time.
“You’d probably find he’s not as big as you would expect for a centre-back, but he fits the Ajax mould pretty well.
“Though we think we still need someone a bit more physical at the back, I’m sure he’ll fit in very comfortably.”
