Why Petersen chose Kaizer Chiefs amid AmaZulu FC and Orlando Pirates interest

The gifted shot-stopper was the hero for Amakhosi as they defeated Bucs in the Carling Black Label Cup clash earlier this month

New Kaizer Chiefs goalkeeper Brandon Petersen has explained why he joined the Soweto giants amid interest from AmaZulu FC and Orlando Pirates.

The 26-year-old was a free agent for almost 10 months after he parted ways with the now-defunct Bidvest Wits in September 2020.

Petersen confirmed that Pirates and AmaZulu expressed their interest in his services, but once Chiefs registered their intent he was keen to join the Glamour Boys.
