Former Kaizer Chiefs Star Fabian McCarthy Shares Powerful Advice for Son, Aden

• Former Kaizer Chiefs defender Fabian McCarthy has shared how his son, Aden McCarthy, is being raised at home
• Aden has become one of the key players for Kaizer Chiefs this season, while winning back-to-back Man of the Match awards in the first two matches
• The 21-year-old defender's father also dished out some advice to his son as he continues to impress in the black and gold jersey this campaign

Former Kaizer Chiefs defender Fabian McCarthy opened up about the heartfelt guidance he gives his son Aden McCarthy, who now plays for Amakhosi, emphasising that the youngster is raised with humility and not idolised at home.

Aden came through the Kaizer Chiefs youth ranks and was part of the team that won the DStv Diski Challenge league last season, before being promoted to the first team this campaign.

He has gone on to earn an international cap with the South African national team, and his impressive start this season has earned him back-to-back Man of the Match awards.

The 21-year-old, who recently showed off his R1 million VW R-Line, is currently recovering from the injury he suffered against Richards Bay in the league.

Fabian McCarthy opens up about his son, Aden

In a recent interview, Fabian confirmed how truly blessed he is to have Aden as his son, but cleared the notion that he's the only one who played a huge role in his life.

"I'm incredibly grateful and truly blessed to have Aden as my son. People often say, 'like father, like son,' but the truth is, his mother, my wife, has played a massive role, not only in my journey but also in Aden’s and both our sons' paths. As a family, we feel fortunate. To us, Aden isn’t a star; he’s our child," he said.

"He may be a role model to his brother and others, but we’re just thankful and prayerful that his journey continues in the right direction. We believe in letting his actions speak for themselves on the field. Discipline, determination, and dedication, those are the values we encourage him to hold close."

The former Kaizer Chiefs star also disclosed what he told the South African international after starting strongly for the Soweto giants this season.

"I told him, ‘If you’re willing to make sacrifices for five years, those five years can shape the next fifty. Take care of yourself, stay grounded, and always know the difference between right and wrong," he added.

"Say yes when it's right, and don't be afraid to say no when needed. Stay focused, be yourself, and remember, this is a team game. Play your part, build trust with your teammates, understand the spirit of the game, and when you're out there, give it everything you’ve got.’”
