Kaizer Chiefs have reportedly completed the signing of experienced attacker Thembinkosi Lorch, bringing an exciting new chapter to the player’s career and adding another major name to the club’s squad.
The long-awaited move has now reached its conclusion after Kaizer Chiefs agreed to pay a reported R15 million transfer fee to secure Lorch’s services. The deal represents a significant investment from the Soweto giants as they continue to strengthen their squad and build a team capable of competing at the highest level.
Head coach Fernando Da Cruz is understood to have been a strong admirer of Lorch and made it clear that he wanted the attacker to be part of his long-term project at Naturena. His desire to bring the player into his plans played an important role in the club’s decision to push ahead with the deal.
Lorch has reportedly signed a long-term contract with Kaizer Chiefs, giving the club an opportunity to build around his experience, creativity and attacking qualities over the coming seasons.
The former Orlando Pirates star has established himself as one of the most recognisable attacking players in South African football. His ability to operate in advanced positions, create opportunities and contribute with goals makes him an attractive addition to the Chiefs squad.
For Amakhosi supporters, the completion of the deal will be seen as another statement of intent from the club. After periods of rebuilding, Chiefs are looking to assemble a squad capable of challenging for major honours, and the arrival of a player of Lorch’s profile could provide another important piece to that project.
With the agreement now reportedly completed, attention will turn to Lorch’s integration into the team and how Da Cruz intends to use him.
Here we go — Thembinkosi Lorch is reportedly a Kaizer Chiefs player! 🙌💛🖤
