Kaizer Chiefs capture Tanzanian midfielder Adolf Mtasingwa Bitegeko

Kaizer Chiefs continued their squad rebuilding process ahead of the new season after confirming the signing of Tanzanian defensive midfielder Adolf Mtasingwa Bitegeko from Azam FC.

The move makes Bitegeko the club’s third acquisition of the off-season, as Amakhosi look to strengthen their squad and improve their competitiveness in the upcoming campaign.

The Tanzanian midfielder joins Chiefs after impressing in the domestic league with Azam FC, where he developed a reputation as a disciplined and reliable presence in the middle of the park.

Known for his defensive awareness, ball-winning ability and composure in possession, Bitegeko is expected to add more steel and balance to the Kaizer Chiefs midfield.

His arrival follows the signings of Renaldo Leaner and Thabo Moloisane, as the Soweto giants continue to make early moves in the transfer market under their rebuilding plans.

Kaizer Chiefs have been working to assemble a stronger squad capable of challenging for major honours after recent seasons that have fallen short of the club’s expectations.

Bitegeko’s signing also reflects Amakhosi’s growing interest in the African market as they look beyond South Africa to identify players who can bring quality and competition to the squad.

The Tanzanian international will now look to adapt quickly to South African football and make a positive impression during pre-season as the technical team assesses new arrivals.

Meanwhile, Kaizer Chiefs will continue their preparations for the new season with a pre-season friendly against Zimbabwean side Scottland FC in the Toyota Cup this Sunday.

The fixture will provide coach and his technical team with another opportunity to evaluate their squad, test combinations and give new signings valuable playing time ahead of the competitive campaign.

With three new additions already confirmed, Chiefs supporters will be hoping more reinforcements arrive as the club aims to return to the top of South African football.
