Kaizer Chiefs have confirmed the presence of Sao Tome player, Jardel Nazare, in their camp as they look to bolster their ranks. Amakhosi are still barred from signing players as per the ruling by FIFA but they are now preparing to bring in new faces.

Coach Gavin Hunt is already planning for life beyond this season and having a player such as Nazare means they will go all-out in the transfer market.

Nazare is a 26-year-old left-sided versatile player who can play in defence or midfield and was part of the Sao Tome squad that competed in the same group as Bafana Bafana in qualifying for next year’s Africa Cup of Nations.

He was born in Portugal, Lisbon and is in possession of Portuguese citizenship, where he spent much of his career, and can definitely help Chiefs.

Nazaree was most recently on the books of a Georgian side Saburtalo, who he left in December 2020.
