Two former Kaizer Chiefs players have reportedly signed for Motsepe Foundation Championship side Pretoria Callies!
Callies who currently sit just three points above the relegation zone after seven matches are looking to beef up their squad. Last season, the club finished in 14th position, narrowly avoiding relegation.
And now, reports suggest that two former Kaizer Chiefs players have been roped in to give them some much needed experience! Let’s take a look at the details below.
Former Kaizer Chiefs duo join Callies – Report
According to local publication Soccer Laduma, Pretoria Callies have signed left-back Siphosakhe Ntiya-Ntiya.
Furthermore, former Kaizer Chiefs midfielder Darrel Matsheke has also reportedly joined them!
“A second source close to the club stated that Callies have also signed former Kaizer Chiefs players Siphosakhe Ntiya-Ntiya and Darrel Matsheke, as reported by other local media. These transfers should further strengthen their squad for the promotion push,” the publication reported.
In other news, Kaizer Chiefs has proven to be a challenging place for many players, and Siyethemba Sithebe is no exception.
The weight of the mighty Amakhosi jersey has gotten the better of many quality players in recent years, and constant coaching changes haven’t helped either.
Former Kaizer Chiefs midfielder Siyethemba Sithebe has since opened up on his two-year spell at Naturena. Take a look at what he had to say below.
Sithebe opens up on Kaizer Chiefs spell
“I would say that there are things that confuse players because there are different tactics from different coaches,” – Sithebe told Far Post regarding his Kaizer Chiefs exit.
“So, according to me, the style of play won’t suit every player. Even the players who are playing, when a new coach arrives there’ll be changes. I can say that those things affect players and who they were before the new coach arrived.
“In the second season, I was mostly affected by injuries. In that way, I couldn’t get game-time. I had a two-year contract, and when the season ended, it was not renewed.”
