Kaizer Chiefs have confirmed the signing of the trio of Tashreeq Morris, Thabo Cele and Glody Makabi Lilepo and here’s the length of each of their contracts.
Nasreddine Nabi, head coach of Chiefs, has been crying for quality, and the club has gone into the market to bring in the trio. Morris joins from SuperSport United in a deal that sees Christian Saile join Matsatsantsa.
The Congolese winger’s move creates a foreign space for his fellow countryman, Glody Lilepo Makabi, who joins from French Championnat National club Valenciennes FC.
Cele finally makes the move to Naturena, having been linked to the club for several transfer windows.
