Changed jersey number by new Kaizer Chiefs signing?
Kaizer Chiefs coach Nasreddine Nabi is steadily creating his new team and squad. Former Maritzburg United and Golden Arrows defender Bradley Cross is one of his new faces.
KAIZER CHIEFS SIGN BRADLEY CROSS
After 24 appearances for Golden Arrows last season, which season just a season after leaving Maritzburg United, Cross has secured a four-year deal at Kaizer Chiefs.
“Kaizer Chiefs are delighted to welcome their sixth signing of the current transfer window, Bradley Cross, from Golden Arrows. The talented left-back has committed his exceptional skills and versatility to Amakhosi for the next four years,” Amakhosi said.
“Cross, who as a teenager played for Schalke 04’s Under-19 team in Germany, as well as captained Newcastle United’s U21 and U23 teams in England, is known for his dynamic play and defensive prowess. He was a standout performer in the Premier Soccer League last season. His hard work was rewarded with a call-up to the national team, Bafana Bafana, by coach Hugo Broos,” Kaizer Chiefs added.
SECOND JERSEY NUMBER SPOTTED
As you may have seen last week, Cross was posted by the club wearing number 48. The Johannesburg-born star from Kempton Park has since been seen with the number 35.
