Amakhosi Snatch Star Defender From Stellenbosch
Kaizer Chiefs have confirmed the signing of defender Thabo Moloisane from Stellenbosch FC.
Moloisane left Stellenbosch at the end of last season after failing to agree on a new contract with the club.
The defender becomes Chiefs’ first signing ahead of the new campaign as they strengthen their squad for a return to continental football.
Amakhosi secured qualification for the CAF Confederation Cup after finishing third in the Betway Premiership last season.
“Kaizer Chiefs are delighted to announce the arrival of Thabo Moloisane for the upcoming season,” said the club in a statement.
“Born in Meadowlands, Soweto, the defender joins us from Stellenbosch FC, where he made an impressive 115 appearances over three seasons.
“Primarily a centre-back, Moloisane’s quality and consistency earned him two national team call-ups during his time in the Western Cape.
“Importantly, he brings valuable experience in African club competition, having featured in the CAF Confederation Cup. His continental pedigree will be key for Amakhosi as the team returns to CAF competition next season.
“He will link up with the Glamour Boys when the squad returns for pre-season training.
“We extend a warm welcome to Thabo and look forward to seeing him in the Gold and Black colours of Amakhosi.”
Moloisane will join his third PSL club, having previously played for Maritzburg United [now Durban City] before moving to Stellenbosch. He also came through the youth ranks at Mamelodi Sundowns.
Aaakhosi announced Fernando Da Cruz as a new coach on Wednesday
