Kaizer Chiefs have confirmed that promising left centre-back Xolani Cossa will join Motsepe Foundation Championship outfit Gomora FC on a season-long loan.
The 22-year-old left footer had a successful loan stint at Black Lions FC in Botswana last season as one of the club’s standout performers.
Cossa will be under the watchful eye at Gomora United of former Orlando Pirates full-back Patrick Phungwayo, who replaces outgoing Ashley Makhanya.
Amakhosi announced on Friday that their academy product will join Gomora to gain experience and playing minutes under his belt for the MFC campaign which kicks off today.
“Kaizer Chiefs can confirm that promising left centre-back Xolani Cossa will spend the upcoming season on loan at Gomora FC, who compete in the Motsepe Foundation Championship, which is the PSL’s National First Division (NFD).
“The 22-year-old defender, a product of the Kaizer Chiefs Youth Development Academy, is expected to get regular playing time before returning to Naturena at the end of the season, having gained valuable experience.
“Cossa joins his teammate Sfiso Timba, who also recently moved to the Gauteng-based side. The pair’s presence at Gomora FC will help them gain exposure and give them opportunities to sharpen their skills at a professional level.
“The Club remains confident that both players will benefit from their time in the NFD and return to Naturena more mature , well-rounded footballers, ready to contribute to the Glamour Boys’ future success.”
