Kaizer Chiefs defender Lincoln Zvasiya has joined Football-Club OFI CRETE in Greece on a one year loan deal. Zvasiya joined Amakhosi in 2011 and has two years left in his contract.

The Zimbabwean International, Zvasiya, didn’t see much game time during the 2012-13 season. The move has been described by Bobby Motaung as mutually beneficial to all parties involved.

“Lincolin is a top player. We looked at the Team and thought it will be best for him to get game time at another Club. We will continually monitor the situation and determine the way forward. It is also good for him to gain experience in a different country. He is still young and it is good for his growth and development as a player. And as a Club we are spreading our wings in terms of creating relationships both nationally and internationally. Football-Club OFI CRETE was professional in the way they advanced their proposal and we looked at it and we found that the deal made sense for everyone. It is Kaizer Chiefs policy to open up opportunities for the players especially when those opportunities will grow and develop the players.”
