The 28-year-old centre-back arrived in South Africa on Tuesday afternoon, to undergo his medical before signing a three-year deal in Naturena.

Miguel, who is the first Angolan international to sign for the Chiefs’ senior team, is the fifth addition to the squad during the current transfer window.

He joins Rushwin Dortley (from Cape Town Spurs) , Fiacre Ntwari (from TS Galaxy), Bongani Sam (from Orlando Pirates) and Gaston Sirino (from Mamelodi Sundowns), who all arrived in the last few weeks.

The towering defender was an integral part of the Petro de Luanda team that participated in the CAF Champions league and won Angola’s domestic league title last season. He has also appeared five times in Angolan national team colours.

“We are happy to have a player of Inacio Miguel’s calibre join our team,” said Chiefs Sporting Director, Kaizer Motaung Jr.

“We’ve watched him and believe his experience, skill and passion for the game embody the spirit of Kaizer Chiefs and will add a lot of positives in the team. We believe that he will contribute significantly with his talent and are looking forward to working with him as he writes another chapter of his career in South Africa.”
