Chiefs Star: I Never Felt It Would Happen

Kaizer Chiefs winger Kgaogelo Sekgota has opened up about the feeling he got after he was signed by the club and explained how he was impressed by the facilities at the Naturena village.

Sekgota was signed by Chiefs from Swallows ahead of the 2021/22 season and he was used mainly off the bench in that campaign under former coach Stuart Baxter.

However, the 25-year old's fortunes changed under head coach Arthur Zwane, who put him as a regular in the starting line-up in the first round of the season.

Sekgota promised to become an influential player for Chiefs with his performances but he could not maintain his early season form and was dropped back to being used as an impact player.

The former Bidvest Wits winger firstly explained how his stay was at Swallows, where he played a key part in helping the Birds finish sixth on the table in the 2020/21 campaign after he left Wits.

"Swallows was a good team and the badge, it's a big brand also, it's an old team. There was also experienced players. You know having experienced players in a club it helps young players to improve and learn," Sekgota said in an interview with Vodacom Ringa Nathi.

"I mean you can't survive when you're young without elders, so we had a good squad, I think we managed to finish in the top eight, we couldn't lose too many games, if we don't win we draw," he said.

Sekgota went on and reflected on his move to Amakhosi that gave him a feeling he never thought he would have and explained that the facilities at the club is a dream for any player to achieve whatever he wants.

"When I had the call from the club (Chiefs), I heard the club wants to sign me, obviously I was happy and excited, an amazing feeling that I never felt it would happen," he continued.

"I came, just to walk inside the Naturena village, you can see the facilities, everything is here. You have everything to become anything that you want in this club.

"The club's history is bigger than my age. The feeling of being here is amazing, the players around, the coach, the technical team, each and every member in this squad is so grateful, love and peace," he enthused.
