South African winger Shandre Campbell's agent Mike Makaab has reacted to the 19-year-old introducing himself to Belgian football with a cracker on debut for Club NXT.
Campbell, who joined Club Brugge's reserve side, which campaigns in the Challenger Pro League (Second Division) in Belgium, scored a collector's item on his first game off the bench, a half-volley from the edge of the box that gave Patro Eisden goalkeeper Jordi Belin no chance.

The former SuperSport United lad had only spent three minutes on the park, with his wonder strike, with 15 minutes to go, the equaliser that rescued a 2-2 draw for Club Brugge II on Saturday.
"Firstly, we're absolutely thrilled that that's the way he made his introduction to Belgium football," Makaab said, speaking exclusively told KickOff.
"I think it's always positive to start off with a really good impact. I honestly believe that in that moment, he truly showed what he's capable of doing.
"If you look at the goal, just purely from a former coach's point of view, he took a beautiful first touch, which took him slightly to the left of the defender and then without giving them an opportunity to close him down, for the goalkeeper to position himself, he struck that half-volley.
"And I think if he could have placed it in the top corner with his hands, he could not have done a better job. From an impact point of view, from a confidence point of view, it was a wonderful moment for the young man.
"We know, we're not naive, it's only the beginning and we can only hope he grows from strength to strength and he continues to make the necessary improvements," the top agent added.
