Mamelodi Sundowns midfielder Rivaldo Coetzee admits that it wasn’t one of his best season but he has vowed to come back stronger next season.

The 25-year-old made 23 appearances across all competitions for Sundowns this past season but was forced to sit out the bulk of the second half of the season due to a hernia injury.

Coetzee, who only scored one goal, felt he could’ve done better but applauded his team on their domestic clean sweep.

“For me personally it wasn’t one of my best seasons. I started off the season well but I think towards the middle of the season just before my injury, the performance dropped a little bit for me and that’s how I feel,” Coetzee told his club’s official website.

“But obviously scoring a goal it’s always something that you want to do for your team and lucky for me I could get one goal this season.

“For the club as a whole I think winning the treble is indescribable, not a lot of players have the opportunity to achieve that.

“Some guys may even play longer than you in the PSL but they don’t have the opportunity that we now have of celebrating a treble. I think credit must go to the team, it’s been a long, tough season but we stuck it out and managed to come back home with three domestic trophies.”
