Who knows if he'd actually scored against the Socceroos at Suncorp in 2022 (when yes part of a front 2), after a Wood knock down, rather than shooting just wide of the post - he may have been in the AWs ever since.
Though to be fair it's only been the last odd 9 months at Stellenbosch, that he's been consistently very good. From the 2nd half of the last PSL season. He'd been there almost 12 months before that (arrived Feb 2023). Yes Stellies are performing well as a team, in a setup than obviously suits ADJ. No guarantee that would transfer straight into the AWs after only 3-4 trainings, and years away.
