Kaizer Chiefs have bid farewell to defender Siyabonga Ngezana after the club confirmed he signed a deal to join Romanian Lige 1 giants Fotbal Club FCSB.
The 25-year-old graduated from the Amakhosi Youth Development Academy in July 2016 and has since gone on to feature 123 times while scoring six goals and assisting one in the process.
Ngezana now parts ways with the club after he joined the 26-time Romanian champions for an undisclosed fee after spending seven seasons at Amakhosi
The Gauteng-born defender is now the second Chiefs Youth Development Academy product to make the move aboard in the last six months after Njabulo Blom joined Major Soccer league outfit St. Louis City SC.
“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 told his club’s official website.
“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.”
