We went for someone who is experienced because when you look at our squad, we have a host of young players in the team. We needed someone like that and in Timothy the youth can learn from him. The best thing he can do is to be a role model to the youngsters who can now learn from him and help us in the attacking department where we struggled in front of goal,” the head coach told Mozzart Sport.
