Kaizer Chiefs’ squad depth and quality was brought into question during the 2023-24 season when they limped to a disappointing 10th place finish and reinforcements were badly needed.
Chiefs waited until the arrival of new coach Nasreddine Nabi before their transfer business started and they brought in seven new players with an emphasis on defence and midfield.
Those brought in were; Fiacre Ntwari (TS Galaxy), Rushwin Dortley (Cape Town Spurs), Bongani Sam (Orlando Pirates), Gaston Sirino, Miguel Inacio (Petro de Luanda), Njabulo Blom (St Louis City FC), and Bradley Cross (Golden Arrows).
WHO WENT OUT ON LOAN?
Chiefs also promoted a number of academy graduates with some handed new contracts ahead of the new season. In 2024-25, Nabi has started with a squad of 36 players whom he hopes will deliver the desired results.
Amakhosi also loaned out promising youngsters Sabelo Radebe and Donay Jansen to Richards Bay and SuperSport United respectively as they look for regular game time and experience.
