Kaizer Chiefs have a long history of top-class left-backs. Legends like Tsepo Masilela set high standards at Naturena. However, recent seasons exposed gaps in defence. Chiefs struggled to find consistency at the back.
The need for strong, reliable defenders became urgent. Fans demanded change after another disappointing season. The club listened and promised reinforcements. Now, with a fresh transfer window, Amakhosi are rebuilding. They aim to restore their winning culture and defensive discipline.
Adding depth, especially on the left flank, is a key part of the strategy. And this week, they introduced a promising new defender to answer that call.
