Edmilson Dove Says Playing for Kaizer Chiefs Is an Honor!

Edmilson Dove Says Playing for Kaizer Chiefs Is an Honor! The defender joined Amakhosi in the most recent transfer window.

Mozambican defender Edmilson Dove joined Kaizer Chiefs as a free agent in the transfer window. He says that representing the Soweto giants is an honor for him and his family.

Dove had been a free agent since January, after his contract with former club Cape Town City was terminated. He was training and keeping fit back home, in Mozambique.

“I was in Mozambique because I had already left Cape town City in January and I was playing for UDS Songo,” he told the club media.

“I was with the national team when I got a call to say I should come here for some days, and I said, “why not?” because to be realistic this is the team I have been supporting since I was young. I’m glad that I made some friends when I was still playing for Cape Town City, like Yeye (Reneilwe Letsholonyane) and Shabba (Siphiwe Tshabalala), so for me it was an honour to come here and wear the Gold & Black, even though it was only for training.

“It went well, and they asked me to go for a medical. Then, I had to go back to Mozambique because I had to wait for results, not knowing what was going to happen. But after about a week I got a call from my agent telling me I had to come back and discuss terms.

“Luckily, it all went well and that was a proud moment – not only for me, but for my family as well – to be here and to represent such a big Club like Kaizer Chiefs.” He spoke.

He made his club debut in the 2-1 win to SuperSport United last week Saturday. Edmilson Dove Says Playing for Kaizer Chiefs Is an Honor!
