Kaizer Chiefs have handed development product Yusuf Bunting a four-year deal after the striker’s impressive performances in the MultiChoice Diski Challenge.
The 21-year-old forward was recently crowned as the Best Player and Top Goal-scorer at the SAB U21 National Championship, where he helped his side clinch the trophy.
The striker, who netted 12 goals in five games including two hat-tricks, is expected to compete with the likes of Bernard Parker and Gustavo Paez for a place in Steve Komphela’s team.

Chiefs football manager, Bobby Motaung, confirmed that they have two Cameroon forwards on trial.
“We continue to assess strikers. We won’t just sign anybody,” Motaung said in a statement released by Chiefs.
“We need to be satisfied that we have found the right one,” he added.
“The two are Christ Mbondi and Julien Jérôme Ebah Tobie,” the statement read.
“The first is 25 years old and played in Europe for Sion in Switzerland. He most recently played for premier division side Deportivo Capiatá in Paraguay.
“Tobie, meanwhile, is 26 years old and has gained a few caps for the Cameroon national team, scoring once. He last played for Kapaz, a club in the Azerbaijan premier league,” the statement said.
