Mercurial midfielder, Siyabonga Nkosi, spoke to kaizerchiefs.com on Saturday (the morning after) penning a two year deals with the Soweto giants, Kaizer Chiefs.

Siyabonga Nkosi…The Second Coming; Welcome to the Family!

Siyabonga Nkosi: (Smiling) Thanks I am excited to be back here at Naturena. It really feels great because for me Chiefs is home!

What is the difference in the way you feel about this move as compared to 2006?

Siyabonga Nkosi: Funny enough I thought the feeling would be different this time around having been here couple of seasons back. I am still as excited as I was the first time I joined.

How did the move happen?

Siyabonga Nkosi: My contract with Golden Arrows was coming to an end in June so my representative, Josiah Mpono told me that there are few clubs that have shown interest on my services. He also mentioned that Chiefs had also enquired; I told him on the spot; ‘focus on Chiefs’. Re-joining Chiefs was my first preference!

What is the biggest motivation for you in re-joining the Club?

Siyabonga Nkosi: I was here the last time and I always felt that I have unfinished business here. I wanted to walk that journey again as I only spent a season the last time. There was a strong feeling to complete the journey I had started. As a fan I have always wanted to see the Club winning the league and I am glad now that I have been given an opportunity to contribute to the success of the Club.

How has the move been received by the football fraternity?

Siyabonga Nkosi: I was never aware that so many people wanted to see me return to the Club. I am really surprised in the manner people, the fans have reacted to the news. It is really been exciting to meet fans on the street and wishing me and the team well in the new season.

What are you looking forward the most at Chiefs?

Siyabonga Nkosi: (Cuts in) without a doubt the Challenge! I am looking forward to the challenge of pulling on that gold and black again. I strive on challenges and also this is an opportunity to fare myself and compete with some of the best players in the country. Joining Chiefs have ignited that competitive spirit in me and I am looking forward grabbing this opportunity with both hands.

I also should mention from the beginning that the move to Chiefs has little to do with my personal ambitions. The team comes first and I am here to serve and hopefully win trophies with the Club.

I will be going back to Durban to sort out few things and I can’t wait to meet my teammates when preseason starts in the next couple of days.
