Sport Pressing Issues: Time’s running out for Ekstein, but he could still bloomSomeone recently posted on one of the social media platforms that Kaizer Chiefs striker Bernard Parker has been a promising player for a decade now. However, when the 28-year-old attacking (please note: attacking) midfielder was promoted to the senior team from the MultiChoice Diski Challenge (reserve) side at the beginning of the 2015/16 season, he became a sudden hit with fans. However, promise has remained just that for the Bekkersdal-born former Junior Rangers and Chiefs junior sides player. His only Bafana Bafana appearance was a cameo one as a 60th minute substitute in an irrelevant Cosafa Cup plate semifinal penalty shoot-out loss to Malawi in May 2015. As an “attacking midfielder”, Ekstein should be scoring more goals than he currently does.
