Chiefs’ Cossa gets another loan
The 22-year-old Cossa has yet to play for the Chiefs senior team, and spent last season on loan at Black Lions FC in Botswana.
“Kaizer Chiefs can confirm that promising left centre-back Xolani Cossa will spend the upcoming season on loan at Gomora FC,” said Chiefs in a statement on their website.

“Cossa joins his teammate Sfiso Timba, who also recently moved to the Gauteng-based side. The pair’s presence at Gomora FC will help them gain exposure and give them opportunities to sharpen their skills at a professional level.
“The Club remains confident that both players will benefit from their time in the NFD and return to Naturena more mature , well-rounded footballers, ready to contribute to the Glamour Boys’ future success.”
