The St. Louis City official actually welcomed Njabulo Blom on arrival in America a few days ago.

Njabulo Blom has since started training with his new team. “We are happy to be here,” he said in a video posted on the club page.
Blom penned a two-year deal with the American team running until the end of the 2024 MLS regular season.
The versatile player, who can also play as a defender, has two option years for an extension from the 2025 to 2026 seasons.
The former Amakhosi star has united at St. Louis City with former Bafana Bafana international Brandley Carnell.
The former South African international is a head coach for St Louis City. Carnell has since welcomed Blom into his fold.
“Finally, we get to work; let’s enjoy this journey Mzansi,” Carnell tweeted a caption of a picture while posing with Blom.
The 23-year-old Blom spent three seasons with Glamour Boys. He joined Chiefs as a fresh-faced 19-year-old.
The Soweto-born footballer made 94 appearances for Chiefs in the DStv Premiership.
He earned his Bafana Bafana debut last year in a strength-building match against the Cranes of Uganda.
