Kaizer Chiefs announce Asanele Velebayi signing on 'long-term contract'
Kaizer Chiefs have announced the signing of former Cape Town Spurs player Asanele Velebayi, with the Soweto giants confirming the winger has penned a "long-term contract".
The 22-year-old former Ajax Cape Town youth player made the step up to the Spurs senior side in 2020.
He went on to play 33 times for the relegated Motsepe Foundation Championship side.
Kaizer Chiefs were interested in signing both Velebayi and Luke Baartman and had hoped to sign the players for free as the club dropped into the ABC Motsepe League.
But Spurs took the matter to a PSL DC arguing that they were entitled to a transfer fee.
With this ruling Velebayi is now able to join the Betway Premiership side, but it remains unclear as to the status of Baartman.
PSL DRC chairperson Mosupi Mashele said in a statement: "The application is heard on an urgent basis in terms of clause 45.5.
"The applicant is declared a free agent. The counter-application is dismissed since the applicant succeeded."
