Kaizer Chiefs have confirmed the signing of Uruguayan attacker Gaston Sirino following his departure from Mamelodi Sundowns.

The 33-year-old arrives at the club after putting pen to paper on a two-year contract with the Soweto giants.

Sirino joins the club after spending six years at Sundowns, where he made 202 appearances across all competitions, while scoring 41 goals and registering 44 assists.

The Uruguayan becomes one of four signings behind Rushwin Dortley, Fiacre Ntwari and Bongani Sam.

“We have decided to add some experience in our team by bringing in Sirino,” says Sporting Director, Kaizer Motaung Jr.

“We know his quality and we believe he will help us this coming season and looking forward to him sharing his experience with our younger players.

“Gaston’s ability to unlock a tight defence with his guile and craft will add an extra dimension to the team’s creativity and his attributes fit with our idea of how we want to play.”

Kaizer Chiefs have since released the following statement on the matter, which reads:

As we kick-off the month of August, Kaizer Chiefs have strengthened their squad in the attacking department with the acquisition of Uruguayan attacker, Gaston Sirino.

The offensive midfielder, who has been in South Africa for over six years where he played for Mamelodi Sundowns, has penned a two-year contract with the Glamour Boys.

Following his medicals, Sirino will join the team at Naturena this week as the team continues its preparation for the 2024/25 Betway Premiership season under the tutelage of Coach Nasreddine Nabi.
