Kaizer Chiefs captain Itumeleng Khune has again put his name in the record books at Naturena after making his return from injury against AmaZulu.

The 33-year-old, who has been injured since December 2018, made his long-awaited return in the 2-0 win over Usuthu.

Khune’s appearance saw the goalkeeper match Thabo Mooki’s record of having managed appearances across 13 consecutive seasons for Amakhosi in addition the Bafana Bafana shot stopper made his 329th starts for the Soweto giants in the game on Tuesday which saw him also equal Mooki’s record of starts (329) and he now only trails former Chiefs goalkeeper Brian Baloyi (347) and Doctor Khumalo (397) on the list of most starts.

‘I am honoured to have reached a milestone that a legend of Kaizer Chiefs Thabo Mooki had set,’ Khune told the club’s website.

‘Mooki and I are friends. We played together and even after he has retired, we are still close. I will call him and have a talk about this.

‘Thabo is one of the players who has guided and assisted me throughout my career. He along with Doctor Khumalo have played a major role in my career.’

‘As a goalkeeper, I need to work harder and remain focused. A target could be to play as many games for the club as Doctor Khumalo has played,’ he added.
