Kaizer Chiefs have bolstered their defensive ranks ahead of the new season, securing the signature of centre-back Thabo Moloisane following his departure from Stellenbosch FC.
The Meadowlands-born defender arrives at Naturena having made 115 appearances in three seasons for Stellies, a run of form that earned him two Bafana Bafana call-ups and cemented his reputation as one of the more reliable defenders in the Betway Premiership.
“Kaizer Chiefs are delighted to welcome Thabo Moloisane to Naturena,” the club stated on Thursday.
For Chiefs, the timing could hardly be better. With Amakhosi set to return to CAF competition, Moloisane’s experience in the Confederation Cup gives Fernando Da Cruz’s side a defender who knows what continental nights demand; a commodity that has been in short supply at the club in recent years.
The 27-year-old will join the rest of the squad when pre-season training gets underway in the next two weeks, giving him time to settle into what is undeniably the biggest stage of his career to date.
Moloisane is a product of Mamelodi Sundowns development and had stints at Cape Town All Stars and Maritzburg United before his successful period in the Cape Winelands.
