Kaizer Chiefs have signed the Zimbabwean duo of defender Lincolin Zvasiya and midfielder Willard Katsande
Chiefs general manager Bobby Motaung said the two players were each offered a three-year deal after impressing them three weeks ago.
Motaung and assistant coach Donald “Ace” Khuse went to watch the duo when Zimbabwe played against Zambia in Harare.
“We signed the two players with the future in mind. Both players are already full internationals with Zimbabwe.
“Zvasiya (20) comes from the Aces Academy that produced Knowledge Musona (who is now plying his trade in Germany).
“We have good relationship with Aces and when we were looking for a centre back, the academy recommended Lincolin.
“He came through for a trial and we were happy with what we saw. He is a future prospect for the club.
“We have signed Willard Katsande from Ajax Cape Town. I was with Ace Khuse in Zimbabwe and that is where we spotted Willard.
“He is a special player and we believe that he is going to bring something special to the team.
“It is important that we have depth in the squad.
‘In football you never know what might happen tomorrow,’ said Motaung.
Zvasiya has been training with team for the past two weeks while Willard Katsande joined his new team-mates on Monday.
