Bidvest Wits winger Vincent Pule has confirmed that he will join Soweto giants Kaizer Chiefs in the new season.
Gavin Hunt put the media in a frenzy when he suggested that Pule had signed a pre-contract with a big club, having entered into the final six months of his contract.
The 25-year-old confirmed his move to the Naturena outfit, stating that he needed to take the step up in his career.
“As a person, you have to try new challenges and this [move to Chiefs] is my next one,” he told The Sowetan.
“The time had come for me to take my game to the next step.
Pule has been a breath of fresh air for the defending PSL Champions. Despite joining the club from African Warriors in 2014, Pule has only become a regular in Hunt’s starting line-up for the last two seasons.
The winger highlighted his ambition to help the club do welll in the CAF Champions League.
“At the moment the spirit is high; at least we are doing better. While it may appear to be a distraction, the team is looking forward to the competition.
“As players, we look forward to every opportunity to play football so it is not a burden to play in CAF.
“It is another challenge that we welcome with open arms,” he concluded.
