“He [Baloyi], we played Pirates here last year, and I put him in on his made his debut. And I said he was magnificent last year,” said Hunt.
“We beat Pirates here 3. Was it 3? No. 3-1, and he was magnificent. And then we went to Africa, and he just got lost. And, you know, young players sometimes go like that, and then they go like that.
“We need to get them going, and he’s got so much to offer, you know, because of his left footer; he is like [Rushwin] Dortley in their team. I mean, Dortley is their best player.
“You know? He’s magnificent. So, you know. Left-footed centre-backs. They’re like, you know, hands, teeth. You can’t find them,” he added.
“You know? So he’s (Baloyi) surely, he’s gotta step up a little bit more now for us because I think he can.”
