While some might argue that the striker is struggling for goals, Bafana Bafana and Burnley forward Lyle Foster is thriving in his new role.

Foster has made two assists in his last three games for the English outfit, including last Friday’s Championship victory over Sheffield Friday.

In his latest game, he came on as a substitute to provide the assist for Manuel Benson to score the last goal as Burnley triumphed 4-0.

Foster’s impact has been pivotal in Burnley’s quest to secure Premier League status, as the team currently occupies a promising third place in the Championship while simultaneously pursuing FA Cup glory.

Speculation continues about whether Bafana Bafana’s coach Hugo Broos might consider experimenting with Foster in a wide attacking role.

In their quest to advance in the FA Cup, Burnley will visit Preston North End this weekend for a pivotal fifth-round fixture.

With momentum on his side, Foster is determined to continue his strong form and potentially help his team secure a place in the competition’s later stages.
