Remember him at Orlando Pirates? Siphesihle Ndlovu is back in Soweto to play for Kaizer Chiefs this time.
The Pietermaritzburg-born star played 30 games for Matsatsantsa a Pitori last season and was rated as one of the best midfielders in the Betway Premiership.
Kaizer Chiefs came calling for the 28-year-old former Maritzburg United number eight.

For a player under the age of 28, Ndlovu has quite an impressive number of top-flight games under his belt. Since his first team debut at Maritzburg United under Roger De Sa in 2016 and his ill-fated spell at Pirates, Ndlovu’s experience reveals 229 matches as a pro.
