Having only arrived at Chiefs towards the end of the year, Baartman also understandably struggled to hit the ground running due to the unfamiliar, fast-paced life of Johannesburg.
Luke Baartman has experienced the frustration of being down the pecking order at Kaizer Chiefs, which is why he is determined to work his way to the top next season, starting with pre-season.
Baartman had a lukewarm start to life at Chiefs this season. He made only six appearances, with most of those coming from the bench.
While he has shown flashes of brilliance with his quick feet, dribbling ability and link-up play up front, he still has no goal contribution to show for his efforts so far this campaign.
Baartman's barren run has been unlike his exploits in his first season in top-flight football at Cape Town Spurs, where he won hearts and was tipped as one of the country’s brightest future prospects.
