Kaizer Chiefs have made key decisions for three senior team players, ending speculation on their future.
The club confirmed on Thursday that Nkosingiphile Ngcobo, Bruce Bvuma, and Brandon Petersen have all signed new deals.
His journey from the academy began in 2014 and has been meteoric. Bvuma’s unwavering determination has been evident in every match, propelling him swiftly to the senior ranks.
His new deal keeps him at Naturena until June 2026, with an option to extend for a year. Petersen, who arrived at Amakhosi in 2020 from Bidvest Wits, also penned a deal until June 2026. There is also an option to add another year. In his third year at the club, the 29-year-old has represented the club in 43 official matches.
“The third contract signing is for Nkosigiphile Ngcobo. Just like Bvuma, Ngcobo started playing in the team’s development structures. He was promoted in 2017 at 17. He has played in various competitions, including the CAF Champions League. Amakhosi reached the final in 2021,” read the club’s statement.
