The Soweto giants, Kaizer Chiefs, have bolstered their squad ahead of their season-opening Premier Soccer League fixture against Marumo Gallants in Bloemfontein.

The Amakhosi have contracted the Angolan international centre-back, Inacio Miguel Ferreira dos Santos.

The player commonly referred to as Inacio Miguel is the fifth player to be signed by Chiefs and they include the former Bloemfontein Celtic captain, Bongani Sam, as well as the Uruguayan winger, Gaston Sirino.

The Portuguese-born defender previously played for Petro de Luanda in Angola before signing a three-year deal with the Glamour Boys.
