Kaizer Chiefs unveil new midfielder Baccus

Kaizer Chiefs have announced the arrival of Durban born midfielder Kearyn Byron Baccus.


Amakhosi confirmed earlier in the week that Baccus signed a contract with the Glamour Boys last week but they were still waiting for him to arrive from Australia.

“We are awaiting the arrival of Kearyn Baccus from Melbourne City in Australia. The two clubs have agreed terms and the midfielder is expected to officially be announced this week,” read a statement from Chiefs.

Baccus joins Chiefs from Australian club Melbourne City FC where he decided against extending his contract with the club.

The 27-year-old has agreed to a three-year contract with Amakhosi. Baccus is Chiefs’ fourth signing this season after Jame Kotei, Lazarus Kambole and Samir Nurković who all signed three-year deals with Amakhosi.

“Kaizer Chiefs would like to confirm the arrival of Kearyn Byron Baccus,” read a tweet from Chiefs.

“The Durban born midfielder lands in Naturena from Australia where he played for Melbourne City FC in the A-League. The 27-year-old has penned a three-year deal with Amakhosi.”
