Williams GK of the Season snub: ‘It’s ridiculous’
The final list of nominees for the PSL Goalkeeper of the Season is incomplete without Rowen Williams’ name, according to a former Bafana Bafana goalkeeper coach.
The PSL announced nominees for the different categories of PSL end-of-season awards last week, with Sipho Chaine, Ricardo Goss, and Brandon Petersen getting the nod in the goalkeepers category.

“Chaine deserve to be there. He should be in front of Petersen, who is not a regular. Yes, he had five or three good games, but Chaine has been performing consistently for the past three years,” notes Alex Heredia, speaking to KickOff .
“Goss is another national team goalkeeper but playing for a very weak team. His personal performance was consistently very good. Then Ronwen should be [the] third goalkeeper on that list. It’s strange how Ronwen’s name is not there,” Heredia.
“It’s ridiculous,” he exclaimed.
Heredia said the Bafana Bafana cpatain is without any doubt, the best one in the country.

“I don’t know who is choosing the goalkeepers, but Ronwen currently is the best, and if we talk goalkeeping, his name should be there amongst the nominees.
“I [would] remove either Goss or Petersen, as Chaine should be there.”
The 2026 PSL Awards will take place on July 27.
