Great trek of players expected as transfer windows opens
JOBURG – Premier Soccer League's domestic transfer window opens.
The great trek of football players moving from one club to the other is expected to intensify as the Premier Soccer League has opened the domestic transfer window.
League spokesperson, Luxolo September said the window opened for the upcoming 2017/18 season of the Absa Premiership and the National First Division on 3 July and will close on 31 August.
Football lovers are urged to follow the player movements between clubs by following the league on Twitter: @OfficialPSL and Facebook: Official PSL and that more details are also available on www.PSL.co.za
Meanwhile, Kaizer Chiefs has become the first club to take advantage of the opening of the domestic transfer window by signing two players including Philani Zulu from Maritzburg United and Teenage Hadebe from Bulawayo’s Chicken Inn Football Club.
Zulu (28) plays as a left wing back while Hadebe (21) plays as centre back and recently played in the acclaimed Zimbabwean senior national team. Both players have signed three-year contracts with the option to extend their stay with AmaKhosi.
“We have been working throughout the break to negotiate and finalise some of these deals,” said Chiefs football manager, Bobby Motaung, son of Chiefs’ founder and managing director, Kaizer Motaung.
“We need to make sure that coach Steve [Komphela] and his new assistant have a strong team that will compete fiercely in the new season.”
Komphela has worked with Zulu in the past and the player came highly recommended because of his skill and versatility.
Hadebe trained with Kaizer Chiefs during last year’s preseason but the club could not secure his signature at the time.
