Former Kaizer Chiefs midfielder Njabulo Blom has revealed he feels “sad” but also “excited” about leaving the Amakhosi.
The 23-year-old penned a two-year deal that includes a two-year option with St. Louis City in the Major Soccer League after both sides agreed to a transfer at an undisclosed fee.
Blom, who came through the club’s youth ranks, now opened up on his Chiefs exit, saying it brings out mixed emotions.
“It’s sad because this is the team I grew up supporting and the moments and experiences I shared with the team, like going to CAF (Champions League), losing the final, are moments I won’t forget in my life and, because I came through the development team, it adds extra meaning,” he told the club’s media team.
“I am also excited because it’s a new journey for me. It’s every player’s dream to go and play abroad.
Blom also sent a message to the club’s fans, his former teammates and the chairman Dr Kaizer Motaung.
“This is always going to be home. It wasn’t my intention to leave this way but I think, at the same time, I have been a team player,” he added.
“I have been working hard for the team. At this moment I had to think about my future and my family – to put them first – and also my growth as an individual and as a player.
“I’ll always remember and love the Chiefs fans. I’d like to thank the supporters, the team, the Chairman… everyone, for all that they have done for me.”
