Supersport United continue to raid Kaizer Chiefs change room

Supersport United have confirmed South African football’s worst kept secret after announcing the signing of goalkeeper Reyaad Pieterse from Kaizer Chiefs on Thursday.

Pieterse has been signed on a three-year deal and continues a now established trend of former Chiefs players moving to the Multichoice-owned side.

The 24 year old goalkeeper’s arrival will give coach Stuart Baxter‚ himself a former Chiefs coach‚ a strong department between the poles as Pieterse joins equally talented Ronwen Williams and Boalefa Pule.

“Reyaad is a talented goalkeeper with a very promising future‚” United CEO Stan Matthews said on Thursday.

“Our coach wants strong competition in all positions in the team and with Ronwen‚ Reyaad and Boalefa between the poles‚ we think we have the strongest goalkeeping department in the league. When you add Mondli Mpoto‚ who is a national under-20 goalkeeper‚ then the future looks bright.

Pieterse will reunite with former Chiefs teammates Reneilwe Letsholonyane and Keegan Ritchie‚ who were confirmed as new United signings earlier on Thursday.
