Kaizer Chiefs have confirmed that midfielder Nkosingiphile Ngcobo will wear the famous and legendary No 12 jersey during the 2021-22 DStv Premiership season.

The 21-year-old has been donning the No 37 jersey since gaining promotion from the reserve ranks to the senior team at the beginning of the 2017-18 season.

However, Ngcobo has since been given the No 12 jersey, which was previously worn by club greats Ace Khuse, Thabo ‘Tsiki-Tsiki’ Mooki, Patrick ‘Ace’ Ntsoelengoe, and George Maluleka.

Ngcobo insists he will work hard and give his best to do justice to his new jersey number.

“I am happy to be wearing jersey No 12 because I’ve been told that it’s an iconic jersey for the club and I’m willing to work hard and do my best,” Ngcobo told his club’s official website.

“I specifically know that coach Donald ‘Ace’ Khuse wore jersey No 12 and he’s a legend of the club. I need to work hard to ensure my name is included in the list of those who made the jersey number famous.”
