The Vaal-born defender did join his teammates during the preseason but worked with Dave Milner doing light training together with George Lebese and David Mathebula.

Speaking to kaizerchiefs.com, Rooi said he was glad to be back training with his mates, “I have joined my teammates for full training even though I am still wearing a knee brace. I was on top of my game when I got injured and hopefully I can regain my form before the start of the season,” he said.

Rooi has made 41 appearances, scoring 3 goals for the Glamour Boys since joining them at the beginning of 2008/2009 season.
