Blom played as a full-back and defensive midfielder during his time in the development but has featured mostly in midfield since graduating to the first team.
Having made his debut for Amakhosi at 19, the newly called-up Bafana Bafana talent has racked up 54 appearances in all competitions and was part of the squad that finished runners-up in the CAF Champions League last season.
Upon Baxter's second coming, Blom has been utilised at right-back where he's impressed with two assists in his first three games of the 2021/22 campaign which he puts down purely to his work ethic.
