Has barely featured at all - did he get there and they thought, hmm dud?
Even from thousands of miles of way, that is the nagging feeling.
I don't believe this is the case guys. This year has been a really tough year for Bevan. Even without covid it takes time for international strikers to adjust to the PSL. The culture shock is alot to adjust to (even for South Africans) and he is on his 3rd coach in his first season.
Because of Covid he has really missed out on alot of football to win his place in the 1st team. At 23 yrs he would have been eligible to play in the Reserve League (Multichoice Diski Challenge) every week to get used to the style of play, hard fields, speed of play and the refs lol. Players like Lassina Traore (Ajax Amsterdam) and Lyle Foster (Vitoria Guimaraes) went from the Reserve League straight to Europe. But it's suspended due to covid.
The customary "Monday Game" that PSL teams arrange for bench players who are not eligible for the RLeague is forbidden. HUGE opportunities lost for players to impress the boss. I haven't heard anything but he could be suffering from injuries. For inactive players training this year is an injury trap. He went from making the bench to getting 10 minutes (winning a penalty) to dropping off the face of the earth. Makes no sense unless injury. Also the owner of the team is a former player agent. He would want his player getting into the NZ Olympic Team. Even though he can't tell the coach who to play, he will tell the coach who to play lol:)
This season is not the time to judge but he will have to work hard because his coach and assistant coach were accomplished strikers in their day. I think he will fine.
