Kaizer Chiefs announce new signings

Kaizer Chiefs have announced the signing of midfielder Philani Zulu and defender Teenage Hadebe.


Zulu joins Amakhosi from Maritzburg United, while Hadebe comes from Zimbabwe side Chicken Inn.

“We have been working throughout the break to negotiate and finalise some of these deals,” said Chiefs football manager Bobby Motaung.

“We need to make sure that coach Steve and his new assistant have a strong team that will compete fiercely in the new season.

“We welcome the duo to our stable and hope that they live up to expectations and make our supporters happy. We have been monitoring them and we really felt they could help improve our squad.”

Komphela has worked with Zulu at Maritzburg, while Hadebe trained with Chiefs during last year’s preseason, but the club could not secure his signature at the time.

Meanwhile, Chiefs returned last Thursday to undergo medicals and started full training this morning under the guidance of Komphela and his new assistant Patrick Mabedi.
