Former Kaizer Chiefs midfielder Njabulo Blom completes move to Indonesian side Borneo FC

Former Kaizer Chiefs midfielder Njabulo Blom has embarked on a new chapter in his career after completing a move to Indonesian top-flight side Borneo FC.

The midfielder joins the Asian outfit as a free agent after parting ways with Kaizer Chiefs at the end of the season.

“Wamukelekile, Njabulo Blom! The South African midfielder has officially joined Borneo FC,” the club wrote on Instagram.

“With his strength, determination, and quality on the pitch, Blom is ready to bring a new dimension to Pesut Etam’s game.”

Blom arrives in Indonesia with a wealth of experience gained in both South African and international football. A product of Kaizer Chiefs’ renowned youth academy, the 25-year-old established himself as one of the club’s most dependable players before pursuing opportunities abroad.

Known for his versatility, Blom is capable of operating as a defensive midfielder, central midfielder or right-back, with his energy, tactical awareness and ball-winning ability making him a valuable asset wherever he is deployed. His composure in possession and relentless work rate have earned him recognition as one of South Africa’s most reliable midfielders.

The move to Borneo FC offers Blom a fresh challenge in one of Southeast Asia’s fastest-growing football leagues. The Indonesian outfit will be hoping his experience and leadership can strengthen the squad as they target success in domestic competitions and continue building a team capable of competing at the highest level.

For Blom, the transfer represents another significant step in a career that has already seen him compete at the highest level in South African football while earning international recognition. His arrival is expected to generate excitement among Borneo FC supporters, who will be eager to see the South African bring his trademark intensity and defensive discipline to the heart of their midfield.

As preparations for the new campaign continue, all eyes will be on Blom as he begins life with the club known as Pesut Etam, aiming to make an immediate impact and help Borneo FC achieve its ambitions in Indonesian football.
