South African midfielder Steven Mendes is poised to rejoin Kaizer Chiefs following a season with Hammarby Fotboll in Sweden. The South Africa U17 international initially joined the Swedish club’s academy last year, quickly making an impression and adapting well to his new environment. However, it has been confirmed that Mendes has returned to South Africa and is expected to rejoin Kaizer Chiefs, where he previously excelled in their youth program. Upon his return, Mendes is likely to be part of the club’s DStv Diski Challenge squad, which recently secured the title for the first time since the reserve division’s inception. He aims to regain top form as South Africa prepares for the U17 and U20 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
