This talented left-sided midfielder developed with amateur club Butcherville before joining Vfl Bochum as a teenager in 1995.
He has since gone on to establish himself as a regular member of the first team.
Delron won his first cap for South Africa against Zambia in May 1998.
He made the squad for the 1998 World Cup Finals and the Sydney Olympics when he appeared in all three games before the team were eliminated at the group stage.
A very strong player on the left hand side, his inconsistency is puzzling and infuriating but he did appear in all the African Nations' Cup Finals.
