In 1994, shortly after he turned 17, he trained with the senior squad, a team that went on to win the league and the BobSave Super Bowl.〔drumbeat.tumblr.com/post/106657008/as-a-youngster-matthew-booth-used-to-watch-his〕 At the time, he worked at a sports shop in Woodstock and he would travel by train to Parow after work to train with the team at CR Vasco da Gama fields at the time and travelled back to Fish Hoek after training. After training, it was then all the way back to Fish Hoek.〔
