Kaizer Chiefs are delighted to announce a further addition to their squad with the acquisition of experienced midfielder, Thabo Cele.
28-year-old Cele has signed a three-and-a-half-year deal with Amakhosi, which includes an option for an additional year.
Born in KwaMashu, KwaZulu-Natal, Cele left South Africa in 2016 to pursue a career overseas, where he played for Real SC, Benfica, and Cova Piedade in Portugal between 2016 and 2019. He subsequently moved to Poland to play for Radomiak, and his most recent contract was with the Russian side, Fakel Voronezh.
With a wealth of international experience, Cele has also represented South Africa at various junior levels, including U20 and U23, in addition to earning caps for the senior team, Bafana Bafana.
“It’s been a long time coming for Thabo, and we are both glad that he’s finally here," says Sporting Director, Kaizer Motaung Jr., “We know his quality and we are looking forward to his contribution to the squad as we continue to build.”
The player is expected to join his new teammates this week to begin his PSL journey with the Glamour Boys and everyone at the Club wishes him all the best.
