Cole Alexander says he will give his all to Kaizer Chiefs – a team he supported as a kid growing up.
The 32-year-old midfielder joined Amakhosi this week, alongside Keagan Dolly, after a brief spell out of South Africa, playing for Odisha FC in the Indian Super League – having been signed by Stuart Baxter.
He rejoins the current Chiefs boss, having enjoyed a long career in the South African top-flight playing for Ajax Cape Town, Chippa United, SuperSport and Bidvest Wits.
Speaking after his unveiling, the experienced player revealed his delight at the move.
He said on the club’s website: “It’s a huge opportunity for me, it’s a very big deal for me and my family. At my age being 32, dreams can still come true. I am so grateful for this opportunity.
“Chiefs was a team I supported growing up. I was always a fan of my local club, Hellenic. Kaizer Chiefs was my other club, so to be at Kaizer Chiefs at this stage of my career I can’t say enough how happy I am to be at a prestigious club like Chiefs.
“I try not to read too much into the media, but I still see there’s a lot out there. I can promise every Chiefs player and supporter is that I am a player who gives my best and nothing less. That’s all you can do.”
