Kaizer Chiefs have announced the return of midfielder Njabulo Blom on loan from Major League Soccer outfit St. Louis CITY SC.

Blom has put pen to paper on a one-year loan deal, which runs until June 2025, and also includes the option to purchase him at the end of his loan spell.

The 24-year-old played a crucial role since joining the MLS outfit and scored two goals and registered one assist in 47 appearances in all competitions.

Blom has now become one of seven new signings behind the likes of Rushwin Dortley, Fiacre Ntwari, Gastón Sirino, Bongani Sam, Inácio Miguel and Bradley Cross.

“We are excited to welcome Njabulo back to the team. His experience in the MLS and his familiarity with our Club ethos make him a valuable addition to our squad,” Sporting Director, Kaizer Motaung Jr. said.

“We look forward to seeing his impact on the field because we know how valuable he is to our game model.”

Kaizer Chiefs have since released the following statement on Blom’s return:

Kaizer Chiefs have reunited with utility player Njabulo Blom, who returns to the Club after his recent stint with St. Louis City FC in the United States. Blom, a talented and versatile footballer, has signed a one-year loan deal with Amakhosi and will once again don the famous Gold and Black jersey.

The 24-year-old began his professional career with Kaizer Chiefs’ Youth Development Academy before making senior team debut after being promoted in 2019. He left Amakhosi in January 2023 to play in America’s Major League Soccer (MLS) with St. Louis City. His time abroad has further developed his skills on the field, showcasing his ability to play multiple positions and contribute both defensively and in the midfield.

Njabulo Blom will be available for selection in upcoming matches as the Glamour Boys gear up for an important phase of the season. The Club invites supporters to join in welcoming “Stopper” back and looks forward to making new memories together.
