A few players from the Wits Academy side have been given the opportunity to train with the Wits first team. Julian De Freitas who is only 18 was one of the players selected. He travelled with the Forwardzone Elite team to Holland last year and everyone was thoroughly impressed with him. Since then Julian has been under Forwardzone and he’s future appears to be very bright.

With some of the Wits players going to the African Cup of Nations as well as moving to other teams some of the young players might get a chance to showcase their talents.

Last night Julian had the opportunity to do that. He played his debut match for the first team against Ajax at Sturrock Park. He played really well and some of the first team players commented that they were really impressed with his performance and that he had flair.
