Kaizer Chiefs have released Given Thibedi to join Swallows FC in a permanent deal, having previously announced they were recalling the midfielder from his loan at the Birds.
Chiefs’ football manager Bobby Motaung was quoted as saying: “Thibedi is a good player and we are proud to say he is a product of our Youth Development Academy.
“We sat with the technical team and assessed the squad we have assembled this season, which includes nine new recruits. After evaluation, we reached the decision to put him on the market and Swallows showed interest as he has done well for them in the past.” The moves of the two players to Swallows continues the trend of a flow of players between the two old Soweto rivals.Among Chiefs’ signings this season have been centre-back Njabulo Ngcobo, left-back Sifiso Hlanti and winger Kgaogelo Sekgota from Swallows.
In the 2019-20 season the loans from Chiefs of Thibedi, Ayanda Rorwana, Sizwe Twala and Itumeleng Shopane to Swallows helped the Birds gain promotion back to the Premiership as champions of the National First Division. Hinting at Swallows’ current close relationship with Chiefs, in response to the transfer of Thibedi back to his club, Birds chair David Mogashoa tweeted, perhaps insinuating more activity between the clubs: “I love you Khosi. Next week I am coming for coffee, nothing else. I promise.”READ MORE
