Kaizer Chiefs new defender Thabo Moloisane is delighted at 'finally' signing for Amakhosi after three years of pursuit

Newly-signed Kaizer Chiefs defender Thabo Moloisane has expressed joy at being a Kaizer Chiefs player.

Moloisane, who signed from Stellenbosch FC, revealed Chiefs have been pursuing him for the past three years and that's something that surprised him to see it finally happening.

He was offered a contract extension by Stellies last season but he decided against signing as Chiefs had already offered him a deal.

“To be honest, it took a bit long. It was ‘on the cards’ for about three years,” he told the club’s media team.

“When my agent informed me of the move I was a little surprised and very happy because it meant that I was doing well to be wanted by Chiefs. I spent time at Naturena when I was a young boy learning under the supervision of the kitman at the time so it’s a place I know pretty well; it’s is a part of my youth and I grew up loving the Club and this is a dream come true for me.

"My first ‘task’ as a young boy at Chiefs was to collect tickets for a match, and now I am one of the players who will represent Chiefs in front of the supporters.

“It means so much to me to be at the biggest Club in South Africa. It comes with a responsibility to maintain the high standards that have made this Club great.”
