Chiefs confirm Gould signing

Johannesburg - Kaizer Chiefs have continued to strengthen their squad for next
season following the acquisition of Bafana Bafana international Morgan
Gould.
The burly defender joins Amakhosi from SuperSport United, with
whom he lifted the Nedbank Cup trophy at the weekend, with the player
putting pen to a four-year deal in Soweto.
"We have been eyeing Morgan for almost two years and we are glad
he has finally landed in Naturena. Morgan is one of the most reliable
defenders in South Africa," Chiefs general manager Bobby Motaung told The Sowetan.
"The arrival of Morgan is further proof that we are serious about
taking Chiefs back to glory days where we used to win trophies - it is
starting next season.
"Morgan was contracted to SuperSport United, so we had to
approach them. The same applies to Mulomowandau Mathoho; Bloemfontein
Celtic informed us they are still looking for a replacement before
releasing him.
"We have got the money but must respect others when they ask us to wait."
Gould is the second high-profile signing for the club in the
off-season, with his national team-mate Siboniso Gaxa having joined two
weeks ago.
Several players already on the books with the Glamour Boys have
signed contract extensions, including striker Sthembiso Ngcobo (three
years) and goalkeeper Arthur Bartman (one year).
