Petersen played for Chiefs twice, although he struggled to get playing time with the main squad and was mostly played in the PSL reserve league, the DStv Diski Challenge, according to Goal.
Petersen, who was born in Pietermaritzburg, will be joining Maritzburg for the second time and it will be the third time he has worked with head coach Ernst Middendorp.
