Given Thibedi, who was released by Swallows, is reportedly available, and Kaizer Chiefs have been informed of this.
Given Thibedi had previously spent time at Swallows FC on loan, and Chiefs announced in August 2021 that he had joined the team permanently.
The 25-year-old Thibedi, a graduate of the Chiefs’ youth development academy, appeared initially poised for more playing time at Swallows, but injuries have hampered his career.
The Swallows FC chairman David Mogashoa has revealed to SABC Sport that the two sides “decided that it was not working out” since he last played in December.
Therefore, we decided that allowing him to depart early was in his best interests, Mogashoa said. “Despite the fact that he is a talented player, the coach [Ernst Middendorp] had made it obvious that he did not see him in his plans. Given is definitely disappointed, but this will give him a chance to start over, from what I can tell from our conversation.
Even when successive Swallows coaches have taken over, Thibedi has been unable to have a run of respectable activity. It is unclear at this point whether any other clubs will provide him with a lifeline.
It’s disappointing since the skill is clear, Mogashoa said to SABC Sport. But there just isn’t enough room because there are so many players in his position. Since he graduated from Chiefs’ academy, I also notified them and asked whether they would have room for him.
