Kaizer Chiefs have confirmed the departure of midfielder Njabulo Blom after months of speculation on his future.
The national team midfielder has completed his move to US Major League Soccer side St. Louis City SC.
In a statement on Friday night, the club described his departure as “bittersweet”.
“It’s a bittersweet departure because I think it’s no secret to Amakhosi’s faithful how highly we value Njabulo Blom. He is the epitome of what our Academy has been able to produce over the last couple of years.”
“This is part of the plan for us to unearth talent of international standard. More so, we want to ensure that we produce talent that can go out to explore opportunities abroad.
“From a personal point of view, it’s great to see a young man who grew up in the system now being afforded the opportunity to expand his horizons,” said the club’s Sporting Director, Kaizer Motaung Jr.
