BIDVEST WITS ACADEMY RISING STAR
ROWAN HUMAN BY HAPPY MASANGO At just 18 years, 11 months old, Bidvest Wits youngster Rowan Human became the third youngest player to play in the Absa Premiership this season after debuting against Stellenbosch in a 2 - 0 victory. The name Human has been on the lips of avid South African youth football followers for some time – after the holding midfielder created waves in junior football since the age of 14 and in the 2019/20 campaign which finally saw him earn his big break. Born and bred in Westbury, a community ridden in crime, drugs and gangsterism – but with no shortage in footballing talent as Steven Pienaar can attest – Human has come through the highly successful Bidvest Wits academy and is now ready to shine in the big leagues. The Soccerzela team caught up with him and chatted about his academy life and most importantly, his transition into professional football.
