Kaizer Chiefs have invited a player to train at the club. As a bonus for fans, he could slot into a problem position.

Chiefs widen their search for a new right-back

Via KickOff, Chiefs have invited Mhleli Mabuza to train with the senior side. The 24-year-old right-back most recently plied his trade with Louletano DC in Portugal’s fourth tier. Mabuza is a free agent now after not renewing terms with them. Richards Bay’s Lwandile Mabuya is also on Chiefs’ shopping list, although it might be difficult to pull off a deal. 21-year-old Aden McCarthy, who’s versatile enough to play anywhere across the back four, made a solid Betway Premiership debut in the 1-1 draw at Sekhukhune.

MTN8 race goes to the final day, what do Kaizer Chiefs need?

Meanwhile, despite going behind early in the contest, Nabi’s Kaizer Chiefs secured what might prove to be a massive point away to Sekhukhune in a 1-1 draw thanks to Glody Lilepo’s equaliser deep into first-half stoppage time. It means the Glamour Boys can guarantee an MTN8 place with a win on the final day at home against Polokwane City. However, Polokwane sit two points above Chiefs, although their MTN8 place is already sealed. Chiefs vs Polokwane kicks off on Saturday, 24 May at 15:00.
