Rating all of Kaizer Chiefs’ SEVEN signings this window

Kaizer Chiefs brought seven new faces in the transfer window although none were strikers or wingers. Let’s assess.


Kaizer Chiefs transfers in the 2024-2025 winter window

Fiacre Ntwari

At 24, the Rwandan former TS Galaxy man is still approaching his best years as a goalkeeper and that’s exciting for the Chiefs board and fans. He started against Gallants in their season opener so it looks as though he’s the number one, for now at least.


Rushwin Dortley

Already capped twice by Bafana at age 22, Chiefs have landed one of the most talented defensive prospects in the country. They’ll be desperate they can keep him for a few years at least before Sundowns or foreign suitors come calling. This classy left-footer is going straight to the top.

Inacio Miguel

Vastly experienced, the 28-year-old Angolan will bring plenty of stability to a Chiefs side needing a bit of cosmopolitan flavour and variety. He’s played club football in Portugal, Romania, Latvia and Angola, so there’s a lot of know-how there.


Bongani Sam

Another man who boasts plenty of experience, the 27-year-old left-back seems a natural replacement for the departed Sifiso Hlanti and is ready-made for the top flight. When he debuts for Amakhosi, he’ll be the fifth player to represent all of Soweto’s elite clubs.


Bradley Cross

At 23, the new left-back should get better and better while initially understudying Sam in the role. Don’t be surprised if he usurps him though.


Njabulo Blom

Although just a loan signing, the former fan favourite will add authority, steel and structure to a midfield that might have looked a little flimsy from time to time. He and Yusuf Maart should form a considerable partnership in 2024-2025.

Gaston Sirino

At 33, the Uruguayan isn’t getting any younger, but he’ll help bridge the gap for Chiefs as they continue to try and rehabilitate Nkosingiphile Ngcobo from his continuous injury issues. Mduduzi Shabalala should learn a thing or two from the former Sundowns man too.
