South African outfit Kaizer Chiefs have completed the acquisition of striker Luke Baartman in the ongoing summer transfer window.
The 19-year-old joins the Soweto giants on a permanent deal following his departure from Cape Town Spurs after being declared free agent by the PSL Dispute Resolution Chamber.
Baartman becomes the ninth signing for Kaizer Chiefs in the current window. The move is to augment their squad for the 2025/26 football campaign.
In the previous Motsepe Foundation Championship season, Baartman featured in 12 league matches and netted three goals.
“Kaizer Chiefs are pleased to confirm the signing of another forward, Luke Baartman, making him the Club’s ninth signing of the 2025/26 season. The 19-year-old junior international joins Amakhosi from Cape Town Spurs” wrote the club.
Baartman now links up with his former Urban Warriors captain Asanele Velebayi after the latter’s fate was sealed in a similar fashion last week.
The South Africa youth international was also nominated for the 2025 PSL Young Player of the Season award by the Motsepe Foundation Championship.
