Chiefs' Katsande aiming to become club legend

Cape Town - Kaizer Chiefs holding midfielder Willard Katsande has admitted he wants to be recognised as a club legend by the time he leaves the Glamour Boys sometime in the future.

Having made his 200th appearance in Wednesday's 2-0 victory over Cape Town City, Katsande said it was an emotional moment to reach his double century against the Citizens, yet he still harboured hopes of achieving more. 

He told the club's official website, "It was an emotional game. My team-mates and the supporters, who are simply phenomenal, played a big role to help me play so many matches. I am happy we got the three points on the night.

"To be successful is the result of all the hard work you put in. While growing up, I knew that my soccer abilities will give me an opportunity to succeed and to make a living and that’s why I worked hard to reach this achievement.

"I am still very hungry and I have a burning desire to continue doing well for the club. I want to go down as a legend in Kaizer Chiefs’ rich history."

Amakhosi's next encounter in the Premiership is against struggling Bidvest Wits on Saturday.

The action gets underway from 18:00 at the FNB Stadium in Johannesburg.

I'd keep Siya captain for now, but look to have someone else for 2027.
