A product of the club's youth development programme, Lucas Thwala has definitely become a vital cog in the Bucs defense since he debuted in the 1-all draw against Jomo Cosmos in August 2004; however, his promising career was constantly halted by long-term injuries.
Although three matches in the 2004/05 season was obviously not enough for the promising youngster, the writing was on the wall that Thwala is destined for greater things with the Buccaneers, as well as being national asset and a great servant of his country.
