Chiefs Star Potsane SHOCK Transfer! Back to Siwelele FC!
Tebogo Potsane Returns to Bloemfontein: A New Chapter with Siwelele FC
Former Kaizer Chiefs winger Tebogo Potsane has officially rejoined Siwelele FC, marking a sentimental return to his roots in Bloemfontein. The 31-year-old completed the move as a free agent after his departure from Chiefs, signing a one-year contract with the club. This move sees him reunite with his former coach from Bloemfontein Celtic, Lehlohonolo Seema, a relationship that previously saw Potsane flourish.
Potsane's time at Kaizer Chiefs, which began with high expectations, didn't quite pan out as planned. Despite making 41 appearances over two seasons, scoring four goals and providing three assists, he struggled to secure a consistent role in the team due to injuries and fierce competition. Following a squad overhaul under new coach Nasreddine Nabi, Potsane was released in July 2025.
Siwelele FC, formerly the club that acquired SuperSport United’s PSL status, are building a competitive squad for the 2025/26 Betway Premiership season. The club, drawing inspiration from the passionate Bloemfontein Celtic fanbase, aims to blend experience with youth. Potsane's arrival is expected to add significant flair and creativity to their attacking options.
"NEW PLAYER ALERT. Tebogo Potsane is Green and White. Welcome home Taba Taba Ke Mmala," the club announced, signaling the warm reception for the returning player.
The reunion with coach Lehlohonolo Seema is a key factor in Potsane's decision. Under Seema's guidance at Bloemfontein Celtic, Potsane established himself as a dynamic winger known for his speed and goal-scoring ability. This familiar environment could be the catalyst for him to rediscover his best form and contribute significantly to Siwelele FC's ambitions.
Potsane joins other new signings like Siphelele Luthuli, bolstering Siwelele's attack as they prepare for a challenging season in the Betway Premiership. Fans are eager to see if he can recapture the magic he displayed earlier in his career and help the team compete at the highest level.
