Since 2001, he has refined his skills as a selector and has previously held the position of Convenor of Selectors for the SA National Academy, SA Emerging, and men's U19 teams. 'CSA is extremely proud to welcome Patrick into this pivotal role as Convenor Selector for the Proteas Men's Team." 'His deep understanding of the game, combined with decades of experience in talent identification and selection across various levels, makes him the ideal person for the job. We are thrilled to welcome Patrick on board and look forward to working closely with him, as well as witnessing the positive impact he will undoubtedly make," said Enoch Nkwe, Director of National Teams and High Performance, in a statement. As the newly appointed Convenor Selector, Moroney will report to Nkwe and collaborate closely with head coach Conrad. He will be based at the CSA Centre of Excellence (CoE) in Pretoria and will officially begin his three-year tenure from August 1.
