Kaizer Chiefs have bolstered their squad with the signing of Faiz Abrahams on a season-long loan from Stellenbosch FC, with an option to buy at the end of the campaign.
Amakhosi confirmed the acquisition of the 21-year-old on Thursday, 6 August, as they continue to reshape their squad for the 2026/27 PSL season.
Abrahams’ arrival at Naturena comes amid several squad movements between the two clubs. Just a day ago, Stellies completed the signing of Chiefs’ promising young defender, Gopolang Taunyana.
Furthermore, earlier this week, the Winelands-based outfit secured the permanent transfers of defender Given Msimango and forward Ashley Du Preez from the Soweto giants.
In another recent move between Chiefs and Stellenbosch, young talent Langelihle Phili joined the Glamour Boys on a long-term deal from the Gavin Hunt-led side.
KAIZER CHIEFS CONFIRM FAIZ ABRAHAMS SIGNING
In an official statement released, Chiefs welcomed the youngster to the club, highlighting his impressive football career at a young age.
“Kaizer Chiefs have bolstered their squad with the signing of Faiz Abrahams, who arrives at Naturena on a season-long loan from Stellenbosch FC, with an option to buy at the end of the campaign,” the club announced.
“At just 21 years old, Abrahams already boasts an impressive football résumé. He made his PSL debut in April 2024 – a day after celebrating his 19th birthday. Abrahams later moved to Stellenbosch and also gained international experience in Israel before returning to South Africa last season, where he featured for Stellenbosch.
“On the international stage, Abrahams has represented South Africa at U20 level, playing a key role in the country’s triumph at the 2025 U20 Africa Cup of Nations. He registered one assist in three appearances during the tournament, further underlining his potential as a winger and creative midfielder.
“Abrahams now joins Amakhosi as the team prepares for the MTN8 quarterfinal clash against Golden Arrows this weekend, adding depth and youthful energy to the squad ahead of a demanding season.”
The addition of Abrahams gives new head coach Fernando Da Cruz enhanced attacking options, as Chiefs hope to challenge for silverware this season.
