Bernard Parker born in Reiger Park near Boksburg was in a verge of joining the Glamour Boys back in 2009 but was snatched by Red Star in Serbia.

Football Manager, Bobby Motaung expressed his delight in capturing the signature of the highly rated striker who was a revelation for Bafana Bafana during the Confederations Cup back in 2009, “We delighted that finally we have signed Bernard on a two year deal. It is an outright sale and we would like to thank FC Twente and the player’s agent Mike Makaab for making the deal possible.”

“Bernard came to Naturena back in 2009 and signed a deal with us but that was subject to an offer overseas. He was always on our plans…in fact I need to make it clear that even if the deal that saw Knowledge Musona joining Hoffenheim had not materialized Parker was always going to come here,”

Bobby Motaung added that Parker who has 37 caps for Bafana Bafana will arrive later today and join his new teammates for training tomorrow, “The player has already expressed his excitement in joining Kaizer Chiefs and has said that he can’t wait to don the gold and black. I would like to wish him all the best and we have no doubt that a player of his caliber is going to add value to the Club this upcoming season,”
