Kaizer Chiefs went all out again to bring back the Bafana Bafana international Tsepo Masilela home, from the Israeli club Maccabi Haifa.

Masilela spend last season in Spain’s La Liga with Getafe on loan. He played almost all the games for the Spanish team, but that did not earn him a place in the Maccabi Haifa’s books.

He was considered surplus to requirements by the Israeli club, and the Spanish team couldn’t afford to add him permanently as their player.

However, the Soweto based team managed to bring him back home. The club has confirmed that they have completed Masilela’s move to Naturena this morning, after agreeing terms and conditions with the player.

"Kaizer Chiefs would like to confirm the signing of Tsepo Masilela from Maccabi Haifa. We welcome him into the Amakhosi Family," said the club

Amakhosi family was in bad mood after losing out their new signing Morgan Gould for six months due to Achilles tendon injury, but now the worry has become happiness after the arrival of Masilela.

The coming back of Masileal will not only benefit amakhosi family, but will also help the national team coach to access his players with a close range microscope.
