Rushine De Reuck happy with contribution as Simba climb Tanzanian Premier League standings

The former Maritzburg United, Mamelodi Sundowns and Bafana defender has enjoyed a sensational start to his career with Simba.

De Reuck has three goals, including one against Tanzania Prisons on Sunday, but insisted he is not focused on his individual performances.

Speaking after the recent win, that lifted Steve Barker's side to fourth place and within six points of league leaders JKT Tanzania, with a massive seven games in hand, the player said the most important thing is for his new teamto pick up the three points.

He said on FARPost: "It's important for defenders as well to score goals. It's not only the responsibility of attackers, so I am happy with my contribution, but the most important thing is the team winning.

"So I am just happy that the team won, and I am happy with my contribution."

Reflecting on the game, the player added: "A difficult game for us, you know. The pitch didn't really allow us to play the way we wanted to. As you can see, during the game we really tried to stick to our identity. I am proud of the boys.

“Tanzania Prisoners made it difficult for us, but we created a lot of opportunities, and we are very happy to secure the three points.”
