Club career

edit

Bidvest Wits

edit

Frosler started his career as a winger in the Bidvest Wits academy before being converted to the full-back position by coach Gavin Hunt. He made 11 appearances in his debut season during which he helped the club win its first ever PSL title.[5] Ahead of the 2018–19 campaign, Frosler reportedly refused a new contract with Wits which resulted in him being frozen out at the club.[6] By the half-way mark of the season, he had not played a single minute of football and signed a pre-contract with the club's rivals, Kaizer Chiefs.[7]

Kaizer Chiefs

edit

Although initially meant to join the club in June, Frosler joined Kaizer Chiefs on the transfer deadline in January 2019 after an agreement was reached with Wits.[6]
