Speaking to the ISL side's official Medium account following his arrival, the 31-year-old revealed that Baxter had previously had a big impact on his career at SuperSport United, and that he was looking forward to working with the veteran coach again.
"... I have only made a small amount of contact with some of the staff and already I feel very welcomed. I am grateful for the warm welcome from staff and teammates, really looking forward to working together," he said.
"I have worked with coach Stuart Baxter before in South Africa and we call him 'the Sensei' [Master]. I have learnt and grown so much under him and it was such a privilege to be coached by him. I am really looking forward to it again.
"Us, as players, should just absorb and absorb because we are going to learn a lot from him, that's guaranteed."
