Hair management: The winger wears the headband primarily to manage his dreadlocks and keep them secure while running.

By doing so, he ensures his hair stays out of his face and doesn't interfere with his vision or performance on the pitch.

Sweat control: Like many professional athletes, he utilises the accessory as a functional tool to absorb moisture during intense matches.

This prevents sweat from dripping into his eyes, allowing him to maintain sharp focus during high-speed play.

Strategic placement: To ensure the headband stays locked firmly in place throughout a game, he wears it specifically pulled down over the tops of his ears.
