KAIZER CHIEFS COMPELTE EDMILSON DOVE DEAL

Amakhosi confirmed that the central defender/left back signed a two-year deal that includes an added one-year option to renew.

This was where he was seen wearing number 25, a jersey number that has been made available by the recently departed club legend Bernard Parker.

Anybody who wants to question Parker’s status as a Chiefs legend should check how many seasons he played at Amakhosi and how many trophies he won. Should we help? Two PSL titles, the Telkom Knockout and MTN8 over an 11-year stay at Chiefs.
