Bradley Cross: Professional journey
Cross’s professional journey has been an impressive one.
Since he was signed by Kaizer Chiefs in September, the former Bidvest Wits and Schalke 04 player quickly adapted to the demands of coach Nasreddine Nabi’s system.
To top this off, his versatility as a left-back and centre-back has also made him a firm fan favourite.
As reported by FarPost, his R3-million transfer to the Soweto giants in September from Golden Arrows underscored Chiefs’ commitment to bolstering their defence, and Cross has delivered with consistent performances.
Season of change for Kaizer Chiefs
The 2024-25 season was a mixed bag for Kaizer Chiefs, clinching the Nedbank Cup but finishing ninth in the Betway Premiership.
Cross’s contributions were vital, especially in big matches, where his composure shone through.
Off the field, according to FarPost, Chiefs are undergoing a squad overhaul, with the departure of Edmilson Dove, Njabula Blom and Ranga Chivaviro making headlines.
Cross, however, remains a cornerstone of Nabi’s plans as the team prepares for the Amakhosi’s pre-season training camp set to begin this Friday at the Kaizer Chiefs Village.
The team will be in the Netherlands from 3 to 19 July ahead of their 2025/26 Premier Soccer League campaign.
