Kaizer Chiefs has confirmed that defender, Siyabonga Ngezana has joined Romanian Lige 1 club FCSB, formerly known as Steaua Bucharesti.
In a statement, the club said, “The 25-year-old Youth Development Academy graduate joins the 26-time Romanian champions for an undisclosed fee after spending seven seasons as a first-team player, at Naturena, having made a goal-scoring debut against Mamelodi Sundowns in 2017.”
“There is always a tinge of sadness when a player who has risen through the ranks here leaves the Club,” says Amakhosi Sporting Director, Kaizer Motaung Jr. “However, Siya has had a good and substantial career at Kaizer Chiefs and feels the time is right to take up a new challenge. We appreciate his wholehearted commitment to Amakhosi and wish him well on his exciting adventure to Europe.”
Ngezana becomes the second Kaizer Chiefs Youth Development Academy to be sold to an overseas league in the last six months, after Njabulo Blom who joined St. Louis City SC in the Major League Soccer in the United States of America.
He played 23 games in all competitions for Amakhosi last season and scored two goals.
Overall, Ngezana has made 123 appearances for Chiefs since 2016, scoring six goals and making one assist.
Meanwhile Tunisian coach Nasreddine Nabi has arrived in the country and he’s set to start negotiations with Chiefs to take over as Head Coach.
