New Kaizer Chiefs midfielder Edson Castillo has sent a message to Amakhosi fans, saying he wants to “win many trophies” with the club.
Castillo, 29, became the third Venezuelan player to move to Naturena, following in the footsteps of Jose Torrealba and Leandro Perez.
He is one of seven new signings which the club has unveiled so far and many expect him to add more stability and strength to the club’s defensive midfield.
Castillo joined his new teammates in camp in Mpumalanga, before they will head off on their African pre-season tour that will see them face Young Africans SC in Dar es Salaam at the Benjamin Mkapa Stadium on 22 July and Township Rollers at Botswana’s National Stadium on 29 July.
“I’m very excited to start this new chapter in my football career with a club like Kaizer Chiefs,” he stated in a message on Instagram.
“I want to thank them for the welcome they have given me from the first moment I arrived in this great city.
“I would also like to thank everyone who has supported me in this process including the club’s board, coaching staff and my representatives, Andrande Sports Group.
“I will give my all to achieve the goals we have set ourselves as a club and of course win many titles for this great club. Amakhosi for life!”
Castillo and his new teammates will have a first chance to impress when Chiefs kick off their 2023/24 DStv Premiership campaign with a home clash against fixture against Chippa United at FNB Stadium.
