Veitch said Bohloko has consistently shown outstanding promise throughout his development at Naturena and during his time with South Africa's youth national teams. He believes the new three-year contract underlines the club's confidence in the teenager's ability and long-term potential.
He added that Bohloko is now entering an exciting stage of his career as he transitions into the senior setup, stressing that Roc Nation Sports International will continue working closely with the player to help him reach the next level.
Bohloko became part of Roc Nation Sports International's stable in July 2025, joining highly rated Mamelodi Sundowns prospect Siyabonga Mabena as one of the agency's emerging South African talents.
A record of early achievement
The young attacker has enjoyed a rapid rise through Kaizer Chiefs' development system. He made his MultiChoice Diski Challenge debut in 2023 at the age of just 14, becoming one of the youngest players to represent the club's reserve side.
Twelve months later, he was rewarded for his impressive performances by being named Kaizer Chiefs' DDC Player of the Year at only 15.
Bohloko also enjoyed an outstanding 2023/24 DDC campaign, finishing as Amakhosi's leading scorer in the competition. His goalscoring exploits further strengthened his reputation as one of South Africa's brightest emerging attacking talents.
The new deal marks another important milestone in the teenager's career as Kaizer Chiefs continue to invest in his long-term development, with plans to gradually introduce him into the club's senior setup.
Kaizer Chiefs warned against selling top star
Briefly News also reported that Kaizer Chiefs were warned over the possibility of selling one of their star players during this summer transfer window.
The Soweto giants are reportedly considering the player's sale after dropping him from the squad that travelled to Spain for pre-season.
