‘Go for Him’: Dominic Isaacs Backs Thembinkosi Lorch as Ideal Signing for Kaizer Chiefs

Dominic Isaacs Backs Kaizer Chiefs Move for Thembinkosi Lorch

Former Kaizer Chiefs defender Dominic Isaacs has thrown his weight behind a potential move for Mamelodi Sundowns midfielder Thembinkosi Lorch, despite mounting uncertainty over the player’s future.

Speaking to Soccer Laduma, Isaacs reacted to reports from AfricaFoot and Sport Lesiteinfo that Chiefs have shown interest in the 30-year-old, who recently returned from a loan spell at Moroccan giants Wydad Casablanca.

“I can say ‘go for him’. He could be a good signing for Kaizer Chiefs. His experience and the way he plays could bring a different dimension to the Chiefs midfield. (Ox) Mthethwa and (Thabo) Cele could sit back and block the attack while Lorch would attack, create chances, and score goals. I think he can fit very well at Chiefs,” Isaacs said.

A Fresh Start for Lorch?

Isaacs, who like Lorch is a graduate of the School of Excellence, believes a move to Naturena could also be a personal turning point for the player.

“This could be a new challenge for him. He could be looking for a place where he can be happy, appreciated, and play regularly. Going to Chiefs could be a good move for him. As long as he’s in the right frame of mind, it would not be a bad move at all.”

Complications in the Transfer Picture

While Isaacs is in favour of the deal, Lorch’s future is far from straightforward. Wydad Casablanca are reportedly keen to make his loan spell permanent, while Sundowns still hold his contract. Interest from other clubs — both in South Africa and abroad — could also shape the outcome as the transfer window progresses.

Lorch joined Sundowns two seasons ago but spent the 2024/25 campaign on loan in Morocco. Whether he remains with the Brazilians, returns to Wydad, or makes a high-profile move to Chiefs remains to be seen.
