Kaizer Chiefs head coach Fernando Da Cruz has reportedly provided an important update regarding the club’s interest in experienced South African attacker Thembinkosi Lorch, revealing that communication between the player’s representatives and the club remains open.
According to the latest claims, Da Cruz has spoken directly with Lorch’s agent and received an encouraging response regarding the possibility of the former Orlando Pirates star making a move to Naturena. The conversation has reportedly given Kaizer Chiefs renewed hope that a deal could still be reached.
“I spoke to Lorch’s agent yesterday, and he told me the move can still happen. The player is keen to join Kaizer Chiefs and finish his career in South Africa again. The doors are still open. Now it’s up to management to make the final deal,” Da Cruz reportedly said.
Lorch has been one of the most recognised attacking players in South African football over the past several years. His experience, creativity and ability to operate in different attacking positions have made him an attractive option for clubs looking to strengthen their squad.
For Kaizer Chiefs, bringing in a player of Lorch’s profile could add valuable experience and quality to the team as Da Cruz continues to shape his squad. The coach is expected to have a major influence on the club’s recruitment strategy, with the technical team looking to build a competitive squad capable of challenging for major honours.
However, despite the reported willingness from the player’s side, the final decision will ultimately depend on negotiations between Kaizer Chiefs management and Lorch’s representatives. Financial terms, contract details and other conditions would still need to be agreed before any transfer can be completed.
At this stage, supporters will have to remain patient as discussions continue behind the scenes. The latest update suggests that the door has not been closed and that Lorch’s potential return to the PSL remains a possibility.
If Kaizer Chiefs can reach an agreement with the player and his representatives, Lorch could yet become one of the club’s notable additions. For now, the message from Da Cruz is clear: the opportunity remains alive, but management must now complete the final steps.
